First Aid at Work | Qualsafe Awards | 3-Days

The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) is a comprehensive, regulated workplace first-aid qualification delivered over three days. It is designed for employees who are appointed to act as qualified first aiders, particularly in workplaces where a first-aid needs assessment identifies higher risks or the need for more extensive first-aid provision.

A First Aid at Work-qualified first aider can provide the emergency assistance covered by Emergency First Aid at Work while also responding to a wider range of specific injuries and illnesses. Employers should determine the appropriate level of training through their workplace first-aid needs assessment.
