First Aid

The Rochdale Occupational Health Service is an approved First Aid Training authority and meets the criteria set out by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) in the First Aid at Work Regulations 1981 and our courses are regularly monitored by independent Assessors.


We regularly hold the 3-day First Aid at Work (FAW), 2-day Refresher and the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Courses.


We also offer the Basic Skills Update Course and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Courses which can be held onsite for convenience.  


To decide on the numbers of First Aiders required and the level of training needed, employers are required to carry out a First Aid Needs Assessment.  Click on the link below to download the assessment form.


First Aid Needs Assessment


Generally speaking, FAW trained First Aiders will be required in higher risk sites or places with a large workforce; lower risk sites may only require EFAW trained staff, but this will be dependant on other factors that will be identified during the First Aid Needs Assessment.

 

ROHS are unique in that we provide a recall system to inform employers when their First Aider's certificates are due to expire. They can then be booked for retraining with plenty of notice for the employer to arrange work shifts and cover.
