Did you know that last year there were 693,000 workplace first aid incidents in the UK?
This is a staggering 19.2% increase from the year before which suggests that it’s becoming more likely that you could have to face a first aid emergency in your workplace!
If not managed correctly, these types of incidents can end up with your name plastered all over the news, whilst ruining your business’ reputation and destroying your customer base.
If this isn’t bad enough, further statistics show that the average fine from the HSE, if handled poorly…is £110,000 per incident!
Norfolk-based first aid training supplier Medical Training Solutions have teamed up with Norfolk County Council to offer training that is 75% funded under their new ‘Employer Training Incentive Programme’ (ETIP).
Their award-winning first aid training courses have been designed to provide businesses with the knowledge and skills needed to deal with a wide range of first aid situations and keep you and your business safe, legally compliant, and free from media scrutiny (which include the latest COVID-19 changes to first aid!)
