DHF ADDS TO ITS TRAINING PORTFOLIO WITH EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK COURSE
» DOOR & HARDWARE FEDERATION ( DHF ) has announced that it will be adding to its training portfolio with an Emergency First Aid at Work Training Course . Taking place from Monday 12th July at DHF ’ s training academy near Tamworth , the course will cover such topics as actions in an emergency , resuscitation and CPR , the use of AED ’ s ( automated external defibrillator ), wounds and seizures .
Costing £ 100 plus VAT for DHF members and £ 135 plus VAT for non-members , learners will gain essential knowledge to save lives by offering immediate assistance in the event of an incident . The price of the course includes a first aid book , first aid accessories , lunch and refreshments . The course is a Level 3 qualification and complies with the Health and Safety ( First-Aid ) Regulations 1981 and HSE guidance .
DHF ’ s Head of Commercial Operations , Patricia Sowsbery- Stevens comments : “ An accident can occur at any time . Completing a first aid at work course increases confidence and safety , can reduce recovery time and is great for company moral and team building . It can also help keep employees safe outside of work , as staff members will have these skills for life . In short , first aid training saves lives .”
DHF has continued to deliver its training offering throughout the pandemic with a combination of face-to-face teaching and via its ‘ Distance Learning Programme ’ ( DLP ). Since April , the proactive federation has trained nearly 300 people in its Automated Gate & Traffic Barrier , and Industrial & Garage Door training courses , 22 % of these have been delivered online . In addition , the organisation will very shortly be launching its new training website to help learners , for example , book refresher courses .
“ Training remains the backbone of what we do at DHF ,” explains Patricia . “ Over the course of the past year we have worked tirelessly to continue to provide a seamless and highly effective service and to ensure that putting safe and compliant products on the market is a priority . Although the country experienced 30 weeks of ‘ lockdown ’ over the past year , DHF was open for 50 out of 52 weeks , to serve our members and deliver training . This is our enduring commitment .”
