We are pleased to let you know that we will be able to start delivering face to face training for some of our courses from the middle of August. Social distancing and increased hand hygiene guidelines will be fully adhered to.
Anyone who has had a confirmed ITA funding assignment can be assured that this is valid for a period of 1 year, so will be able to use funding for courses later in the year.
Electricity is the lifeblood of modern society, it enhances our quality of life and we are becoming increasingly reliant on it to power tools and devices we use for work and entertainment. However, although electricity has many benefits it can also be a hidden killer as it can’t be seen, felt, smelled or heard until someone comes into contact with it.
This course will start by covering the many benefits electricity brings to society, as well as its key components voltage, current and resistance. It will explain the two main types of electricity, cover UK accident and death statistics, and describe a simple way of remembering the electrical hazards. It then goes on to provide basic instructions about how you could safely help someone you suspect has received an electric shock.
Towards the end of the course it includes an overview of the main standards, guidance and legislation that control the use of electricity in the workplace, and finish off by looking at simple maintenance plans and portable appliance testing including who within an organisation would be best to carry out the various checks.
“I attended a ‘First Aid at Work’ course with Louise in November 2017.
The course was well run, good demonstrations and plenty of interaction between participants. There was a good mix of theory and practical work and everyone was encouraged by Louise. Whilst the course has a serious content, Louise ensured that it was delivered in a lighthearted way and made it easy for everyone to learn.
