Every workplace should have a basic understanding of first aid, but with so many different types of first aid training available, getting the right level of training for your workplace is critical.

From burns to diabetes, cuts to chemical contact, the consequences of a medical emergency can be minimised with the proper first aid treatment. Particularly in workplaces, having the necessary first-aid skills to deal with a variety of medical emergencies could save a life.

Let’s take a look at a few different first-aid courses available.

HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid

Provide First Aid is a one-day course that includes CPR certification. The first aid course includes a self-paced online theory section as well as 4 hours of practical training. It is strongly advised that you take this course every three years. This first aid course will prepare you to assist someone who is injured or in need of immediate assistance in the workplace or in public.

HLTAID012 – Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting

Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting is structured for those who work with children, whether they work in a childcare centre or are starting a career in education. This first aid course focuses on asthma and anaphylaxis on a more in-depth level than the standard First Aid course, teaching you how to administer first aid to young people. Anyone working in an education or care setting, such as a childcare centre or a school, must complete this first aid course. It is strongly advised that you take this course every three years.

UETDRRF004 – Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel

The UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel course, also known as Low Voltage Rescue with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is specifically designed if your professional role involves working with live, low voltage switchboards.

This course is designed to equip you with all of the skills and knowledge you’ll need to save someone’s life without risking your own.

The course covers standard health and safety requirements for workers and managers, as well as LV rescue requirements and how they apply in various roles.
