What Is the First Aid at Work Course?
The First Aid at Work course in Coatbridge is a comprehensive 3-day qualification designed for organisations where staff may face higher levels of risk, including construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and busy operational sites. It builds the skills needed to manage incidents confidently, from common workplace injuries to serious emergencies, with coverage that includes burns, fractures, and illness management alongside thorough casualty assessment.
What Will You Learn on the Course?
Across three days in Coatbridge, you’ll develop the practical ability to assess an emergency quickly, protect yourself and others, and deliver first aid with a calm, structured approach. You’ll start with immediate response skills such as CPR and AED use, then build into wider workplace scenarios including significant bleeding, shock, choking, and injury management. As the course progresses, you’ll also cover major trauma and sudden illness, helping you feel prepared for both minor incidents and life-threatening situations.
Key areas include:
- Assessing an incident, managing the scene, and completing primary and secondary surveys
- CPR, using an AED, and placing a casualty into the recovery position
- Managing choking, severe bleeding, and the signs and treatment of shock
- Injuries including fractures, sprains and strains, burns and scalds, and head trauma
- Serious conditions such as heart attack, stroke, seizures, asthma attacks, and diabetes-related emergencies
- Recognising and responding to allergic reactions (including anaphylaxis), poisoning, and eye injuries
- Hands-on workplace first aid practice to build confidence beyond the basics
By completing this accredited Level 3 First Aid at Work course, you’ll be equipped to take control of an incident and provide effective support until professional help arrives, which is especially important in environments where risks are higher.
