first aid southampton
All of our Instructors at First Aid Southampton are qualified to teach and are
off duty full time Emergency Service Personnel.Why do I need Due Diligence? From
1st October 2013 HSE no longer approves training and qualifications for the
purpose of first aid at work. Training organisations who were formerly
‘Approved’ by HSE to deliver First Aid at Work Training can no longer claim to
be HSE Approved or use their HSE Approval number. The flexibility arising from
the changes in the Regulations gives employers more choice in the first aid
training they provide for their employees and whom they choose to provide it. An
employer will need to undertake due diligence (reasonable enquiry or
investigation) into how they select a first aid training provider. What are my
options? The HSE have stated that you have three options. 1) HSE Approved
Trainer on their provider list. 2) A training provider working under an
accredited framework - such as Ofqual 3) A independent supplier with no
accreditation. - If you choose this third option then you need to investigate or
apply due diligence towards that company to insure they are legitimate. In
printing this page and placing it with your risk assessment, you have shown a
level of due diligence. Ok, so what does that mean?
