Corporate and Team First Aid Courses: Keeping Your Workplace Safe

Everyone deserves to be safe. If your looking to keep your staff safe, you”ve probably considered our on site group training.
We’ve got great corporate and team first aid courses. They’re not just about ticking a box for workplace safety – they’re about equipping you and your colleagues with skills that could save a life. Guess what, with our onsite first aid courses we ensure a safer and more prepared workplace for everyone. Let’s talk about why they matter and how they work.

Why First Aid Skills Matter at Work

Picture this: I’m in the middle of a regular workday. Suddenly, Anne, who has been working in the office since Gough Whitlam was in pm and has type 2 diabetes, collapses. It’s a scorching hot day, the air conditioning isn’t working, and she hasn’t had lunch. What do I do? This is where first aid training becomes invaluable.

First aid skills are like a safety net for our workplace. They give us the confidence to act when someone needs help, whether it’s a minor cut or a major emergency. It’s not about replacing professional medical help – it’s about knowing what to do in those critical first few minutes before help arrives.

Quick Look at Team First Aid Training

Now, you might be thinking, “Isn’t first aid just an individual skill?” Well, that’s where team first aid training comes in. It’s like upgrading from solo play to multiplayer mode in a video game – suddenly, we’ve got backup, and we’re part of a coordinated response.

Team first aid training is about learning to work together in an emergency. It’s about knowing our roles, communicating clearly, and supporting each other. When everyone on our team knows first aid, we’re not just safer – we’re a more cohesive unit. The shared experience of learning and practicing these skills builds team spirit. We see our colleagues in a new light, understanding their strengths and how we can work together. It’s not just team building; it’s team building with a purpose.

The participants are intently watching and learning, highlighting the importance of first aid skills in the workplace. The room is well-lit with natural light, creating a professional and engaging atmosphere.

Benefits of Team First Aid Training

FAQs about Our Corporate First Aid Courses

We get a lot of questions about our courses. Here are some of the most common ones:

1. How often should we renew our training?

For the HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation course, we need to renew every 12 months. It’s like an annual check-up for our CPR skills.

For other courses, the renewal times can vary. We recommend checking the specific requirements for our industry or role. When in doubt, more frequent refreshers are always a good idea. First aid guidelines can change, and regular practice keeps our skills sharp.

2. Can you tailor the course to our workplace?

Absolutely! We know that every workplace is unique. If we give them a heads up about our specific risks or concerns, they can focus on those areas. Working in a kitchen? They’ll spend more time on burns and cuts. Office environment? They might focus more on medical emergencies like heart attacks or strokes.

A group of business professionals is engaged in a first aid training session in a conference room. They are gathered around a CPR dummy, with one man demonstrating chest compressions while others observe closely, take notes, and ask questions. The participants are dressed in business casual attire and appear focused and attentive. The setting is well-lit, and the atmosphere is serious and educational, highlighting the importance of first aid skills in a professional environment.

3. How many people should we train?

The more, the merrier! But if we’re looking for specifics, here are the minimum ratios:

  • High-risk workplaces: 1 trained first aider for every 25 employees
  • Low-risk workplaces: 1 trained first aider for every 50 employees
  • Remote High Risk locations: 1 trained first aider for every 10 employees

But remember, these are minimums. In reality, we often need more. People take holidays, get sick, or might be on a different shift when an emergency happens. Plus, the more people who know first aid, the safer everyone is.

Our advice? Train as many people as we can. It’s an investment in our team’s safety and well-being.

The main legal requirement is simple: we need to have trained staff. The specifics can vary depending on our industry and the size of our workplace. But having trained first aiders isn’t just about ticking a box – it’s about creating a safer work environment for everyone.

5. Do you offer group discounts?

Yes, we do! Fill out our online form, and we’ll be happy to discuss pricing for your group.

Hi there! I'm Jack Majlinger. I began my first aid journey back in 2012, with my first "first aid" course. It was after a hiking accident where a friend had to be airlifted. Over the years, my first aid skills grew, I volunteered at equestrian events and local shows and became a first aid trainer. When I'm not working on content, I enjoy spotting birds in the wild and writing jangle pop tunes.
