Course Overview

Safety performance on advanced workplace first aid degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Almost every serious incident involving first aid was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. The programme takes participants through this area of occupational health and safety end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in advanced workplace first aid that were visible long before the incident. Buying a tool rarely fixes this part of occupational health and safety; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on first aid are used deliberately. They acquire practical criteria for judging when advanced workplace first aid is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants test their assumptions about first aid against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of occupational health and safety rather than a set of notes.
