back to workplace training courses
High Hazard workplaces include engineering and assembly, construction, chemicals, dangerous machinery, sharp instruments or dangerous animals.
Have a think if there are any special dangers like machinery, or if any of your team have medical conditions to check the recommended course will teach what you need it to.
Accidents and illness happen on ordinary days. So cover for all shifts, holidays and sickness too. Most workplaces would need to have more than one first aider to have consistent cover.

To assist the appointed person with this task, we recommend the following course HSE Compliant Emergency First Aid at Work 1 Day Course. If you are in a sporting or outdoor environment, you may wish to consider the activity first aid two day course rather than the emergency first aid course.
You should remember that cover is needed at all times the business operates, including shift work, sickness, holiday cover, and people working in different buildings on large sites.
