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?
