First Aid Training Courses
At Safeco, we offer a wide range of First Aid Training Courses. All of our First Aid Courses are fully certified by Qualtec who are a recognised institute (RI) of PHECC and are available to businesses and individuals.
First Aid is the initial assistance given to a victim of injury or illness which, if needed, can be followed by professional help and hospitalisation. You don’t have to be a medical professional to give first aid to a casualty. At Safeco, we know from personal experience that the right First Aid treatment can make the difference between life and death. That is why we encourage as many people as possible to attend one of our First Aid Courses.

First Aid Responder Training Course
Previously known as Occupational First Aid, First Aid Responder (FAR) covers all First Aid requirements for workplaces as outlined by the Health and Safety Authority (HSA). Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, there is a requirement on employers, based on a risk assessment, to have a sufficient number of adequately trained First Aid Responders in the workplace.
At Safeco, our FAR course incorporates Cardiac First Responder as standard.
