There will also be a short risk assessment workshop to help you prepare for the changes. The briefing costs just £10 per person and includes a bacon roll and croissant breakfast.

St John Ambulance, the UK’s leading first aid organisation is providing further services to help Chamber members prepare for the HSE changes to the first aid regulations. These include:
Free on-line support.
A new set of interactive tools on the St John Ambulance website (www.sja.org.uk/training) will take you through the first aid risk assessment table to suggest the recommended number of first aiders for your workplace. There is also advice to help you choose the right course(s) to meet your health and safety legal requirements.
Secondly, you can complete the ‘first aid needs review’ for an in-depth assessment of your current first aid cover. You will receive a comprehensive report and action plan after completing a short series of questions about your business. This will identify whether you currently have the appropriate level of first aid cover and equipment to comply with regulations.
New first aid courses which are fully HSE compliant.
Their new First aid at work, First aid at work requalification, Emergency first aid in the workplace and Annual refresher courses, and indeed all their health and safety courses, are fully HSE compliant and have ISO 9001:2000 and SAFEcontractor accreditation. Their qualified, professional trainers combine the latest techniques with real-world experience to ensure your people come away with relevant practical skills and not just theory - of course this is so important as the consequences of getting workplace health and safety wrong can be huge.
As an added bonus, St John Ambulance First aid at work and Emergency first aid at work students are protected by the St John Ambulance Associate Membership Insurance for the duration of their certificate. Visit: www.sja.org.uk/insurance
