The HABC Level 2 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work course is designed to provide participants with the essential knowledge and skills required to respond effectively to a variety of emergency situations in the workplace. This comprehensive training ensures that participants are equipped to handle medical emergencies, fostering a safer work environment and ensuring compliance with workplace health and safety regulations.
The course begins with an introduction to the basic principles of first aid. Participants will learn about the role and responsibilities of a first aider, including the importance of prompt and effective action in emergency situations. This section also covers the ethical considerations and the legal framework surrounding the provision of first aid in the workplace.
A critical component of the course involves learning how to assess an incident. Participants will be trained to conduct a primary survey using the DRSABC protocol (Danger, Response, Shout for help, Airway, Breathing, Circulation). This module emphasises the importance of ensuring the safety of both the first aider and the casualty before administering first aid. Participants will practice scene assessment and prioritising treatment in simulated scenarios.
Participants will learn essential cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques for adults, including the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). This module covers the steps for performing effective chest compressions and rescue breaths, as well as the correct procedures for operating an AED. Hands-on practice with CPR mannequins and AED training devices ensures participants are confident in their ability to respond to cardiac emergencies.
This section focuses on the management of casualties who are unconscious but breathing. Participants will learn how to place a casualty in the recovery position to maintain an open airway and prevent choking. The course also covers the monitoring of vital signs and the importance of providing reassurance and support to the casualty until professional medical help arrives.
Participants will be trained to manage various types of bleeding and wounds. This module covers techniques for controlling external bleeding, including the application of direct pressure, dressings, and bandages. Participants will also learn how to treat minor cuts, grazes, and severe wounds, as well as how to recognise and manage shock.
This section addresses the treatment of burns and scalds. Participants will learn about the different types of burns (thermal, chemical, electrical) and the appropriate first aid measures for each. The course covers the importance of cooling the burn, protecting the injured area, and preventing infection. Practical exercises include the application of burn dressings and the management of more severe burn injuries.
Choking is a common workplace emergency that requires immediate intervention. This module teaches participants how to recognise the signs of choking and perform effective first aid techniques to clear the airway. Participants will practice back blows and abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on manikins to ensure they are prepared to act swiftly in a choking emergency.
Participants will be equipped to handle a variety of minor injuries, such as sprains, strains, and bruises. This module covers the principles of RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for managing soft tissue injuries, as well as techniques for splinting and supporting injured limbs. The course also includes the treatment of minor eye injuries and nosebleeds.
This module provides an overview of common medical conditions that may require emergency first aid, such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma attacks, and diabetic emergencies. Participants will learn to recognise the signs and symptoms of these conditions and provide appropriate first aid until professional medical help arrives. The importance of monitoring the casualty and providing clear information to emergency responders is also emphasised.
Accurate recording and reporting of first aid incidents are essential for compliance with workplace health and safety regulations. This module covers the procedures for documenting incidents, including the details of the casualty, the nature of the injury or illness, and the first aid provided. Participants will learn about the importance of maintaining clear and thorough records for legal and organisational purposes.
Participants will be introduced to the various types of first aid equipment and supplies, including first aid kits, bandages, dressings, and splints. This module covers the correct use and maintenance of first aid equipment, ensuring that participants are familiar with the tools available to them and how to use them effectively in an emergency.
The course concludes with a review of the key concepts covered, ensuring that participants have a solid understanding of emergency first aid principles and practices. This final module includes a recap of incident assessment, CPR and AED use, managing unconscious casualties, bleeding control, burn treatment, choking management, minor injury care, recognising medical conditions, and incident reporting. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify any doubts, ensuring they leave the course confident in their ability to provide effective emergency first aid.
