[treefolk]

Wanting to put all my workers and myself through basic first aid training but not sure who is offering what course or what is the best one to go for for arb work. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? We are based in faversham, Kent. Thanks

Katie @ Fox Medics is very good i hear. She is up in Nottinghamshire but will travel to give courses i believe. She is a qualified and practicing Paramedic and having met her at the APF i will be looking to her to update my first aid training in due course. She is a member on here and i think others have already had training from her.

I will look out her number so pm if you need it.

Hope this helps.

Call Greg at Arbaid. He runs a very professional Arb focused course.

Well worth it, when you consider the alternative.

These dedicated courses seem expensive at a glance but actually work out only a touch more in reality.

Do you get any kind of hse recognised certificate as part of his course? I don't doubt the training is top notch but I want to tick the right boxes if you know what I mean.

I remember someone saying the law changed a few years ago and you no longer had to have the usual first aid at work etc if you had proof of training for example like the Arb aid course. Does anyone know if that's true?

It's kind of irrelevant. If an employee has an accident and the ensuing HSE investigation reveals that better 1st Aid training could have resulted in a less serious outcome, the employer could be liable due to negligence.

 

It's the same syndrome as giving an employee standard A-frame step ladders. The employee then falls off (for whatever reason).

The employer could then be negligent for not supplying staff with a tripod step ladder.

 

Recent history has shown that if a better option was available to the employer, ambulance chasing lawyers will show the employer to be negligent.

 

So, what I'm getting at is that if there is an injury then an investigation and the employer can show that they put staff on the best 1st Aid training course available to them at that time, the employer is demonstrating that they acted diligently and took all steps practicable.
