• Why This Course?

  • Currently, in-depth training on Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) is not a mandatory part of the Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work courses. However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) encourages including AED awareness training as part of these courses, as it helps to build confidence when using a defibrillator in an emergency situation.

    While it is not a legal requirement for employers to provide an AED under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, businesses are advised to carry out a first-aid needs assessment. If this assessment highlights the need for a defibrillator on-site, it is strongly recommended that staff receive comprehensive AED training to ensure they are fully prepared to respond in an emergency.
