First Aid for Companies
Most first aiders are trained because their employer asked them to be. For a company, the question is not only which course, but how many people, on which shifts, and how to keep everyone current. We run on-site AHA first aid courses for companies, schools and clinics across the UAE.
The essentials
Train enough first aiders to cover every shift and location, match the course to the risks (standard, pediatric or CPR-only), place AEDs and kits where people can reach them, and stagger renewals so certification never lapses.
It depends on headcount, shifts, the hazards of the work and how far you are from emergency services. Your sector regulator or health and safety framework may set specific requirements, so start there. In practice, a site needs at least one trained first aider present on every shift, plus cover for leave and sickness.
We bring instructors, manikins, training AEDs and auto-injector trainers to your premises. You provide a room with space for everyone to kneel on the floor. We can split a large team across several sessions so that operations continue.
Each participant receives an AHA course completion card valid for two years. We can give you a list of names and expiry dates, and schedule renewals so that cover never drops — see first aid renewal.
For outdoor and site workforces, heat illness is one of the most important first aid topics. Our instructors spend extra time on recognising heat exhaustion and heat stroke and on cooling. The workplace first aid blog post has more.
