First Aid – Got it Covered

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Up and Under Group

Half of the team at Up and Under have completed their Appointed Person 1 day First Aid Course today with lots of blowing into dolls and a few gruesome videos (and that was just the soundtrack!).  The second half will complete the course in the next couple of weeks.

Minimum training levels are not our way! Would you want to be the sole injured first aider on site?  At Up and Under we can all pitch in to help.  

The normal period between training courses is three years not here we do it every year. Our instructor today said “you are unusual in doing the course every year, it is a great thing to see”

Another benefit is that we will send out into the community nearly thirty people trained in basic first aid and the stats say that these people save lives.  It is just one more way that we keep people safe.
