- 1The Primary Survey
- 2The Secondary Survey

Section 1
In a first aid at work situation, your priority is to quickly and calmly assess what’s happened and who needs help. In this section you will cover: Infection Control, The DR ABC, Calling the emergency services, CPR, Rescue Breaths, AEDs and more!
Section 2
Now you’ve dealt with the immediate life-threatening conditions from your primary survey, your next step is to see if you can find out what’s wrong with the casualty. This section covers how to find out what's wrong, asking open questions like “What symptoms do you have?” and checking for injuries.
Section 3
This section contains step-by-step guides to essential procedures and treatments you may be called on to provide to someone in your workplace. They are designed to refresh your practical first aid at work training.
Section 4
In this final section, we’re covering the extra first aid procedures and treatments required by a full first aider. This includes eye injuries, strokes, heart attacks, poisoning, anaphylaxis, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, dislocations, muscle injuries and more…
About this course
It’s estimated that around 555,000 workplace injuries happen every single year in UK workplaces.
It’s therefore essential that workplaces have the correct people in place to deal with potentially life-threatening situations and that other staff have a good understanding of how to react in an emergency.
This IIRSM approved First Aid at work refresher training is the perfect course for workplaces of all sizes, regardless of their industry. Using high-quality video examples, your staff will gain a solid understanding of:
- the need for a first aider to be able to record incidents, prevent cross-infection, understand their role and assess situations quickly to act safely and effectively
- how to administer first aid to those who are; unconscious, choking, burned, wounded and bleeding or someone suffering from shock
- how to administer first aid for minor injuries (cuts, grazes, bruises, minor burns, etc.)
- how to administer CPR and how to use an AED
- as well as how to administer first aid to a casualty with: injuries to bones, muscles, chest injuries, eye injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis
- be able to recognise signs of a heart attack, stroke, epileptic seizures, asthma attacks or diabetes and provide first aid
Please note that this First Aid online refresher training course does not give you full competency in First Aid. It provides general awareness but should not be used as a replacement for practical training. Always seek medical advice in case of an emergency.

Very good content, assessment method unsatisfactory
The content was a very good refresher for the basics of First Aid. However, I do not think multiple choice questions are an effective method of assessing competence in First Aid.
good but needs updating
there is one question which i found was an answer that could have two answers
Very helpful
I find this training course very important accident at work can happen at any time so got the knowledge what to do not even am not a first aida thanks
good refresher
easy and quick covers everything
Good
This user gave this course a rating of 5/5 stars
Seems to cover all you would require for a refresher course.
A useful and informative refresher.
Very long and repetitive
Some of the "correct" answers in the quiz were incorrect eg. the question If you suspect hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) what should you give the casualty? Checked this question with Google after the test told me my answer was incorrect. Google's answer was the same as mine. This happened with another question early on in the test but I didn't immediately check with google.

Why is this First Aid refresher training courseimportant?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The First Aid Regulations 1981
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.
It’s a legal requirement to have at least one person first aid trained, if you have up to 25 employees. If you have more than 50 employees, only one first aider for every 100 employees is the guidance, so if you have 101 employees, you need at least two first aid trained workers.
3.—(1) An employer shall provide, or ensure that there are provided, such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first-aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work.
