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).
