Stream Marine Training is pleased to announce the addition of the Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) to our course portfolio. This three-day, Ofqual-regulated qualification is designed for anyone who needs to act as a designated first aider in their workplace.

First aid provision at work is not simply good practice. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. Having properly trained first aiders on site is both a legal responsibility and, more importantly, a genuine safeguard for the wellbeing of everyone in the workplace.

Why This Qualification Matters

The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) equips successful candidates with the skills to manage a wide range of injuries and illnesses that could occur at work, and to deliver emergency first aid confidently when it is needed most.

Because it is a regulated qualification, it carries a particular advantage for employers. Companies can book this course for their staff and rest assured they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without needing to carry out lengthy due diligence checks on the training itself. That regulated status takes a real administrative burden off an employer’s shoulders.

What the Course Covers

Delivered over three days, the course provides the comprehensive grounding a workplace first aider needs. Topics include:

– Roles and responsibilities of a first aider
– CPR and defibrillation
– Managing an unresponsive casualty
– Recovery position
– Choking
– Burns and scalds
– Wounds, bleeding and shock
– Broken bones, fractures and dislocations
– Seizures and epilepsy
– Anaphylaxis

The course content aligns with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) syllabus, ensuring what delegates learn reflects recognised national standards.

Who Should Attend

This qualification is aimed at individuals who wish to act as a first aider in their workplace, and at employers looking to meet their first aid obligations with confidence. It suits organisations across virtually every sector, from offices and warehouses to sites with higher levels of risk.
