CASE STUDIES

Many organisations have requirements for first aid training that extend beyond statutory first aid at work. Develop provides tailored programmes to meet specific requirements:

First Aiders working on the Thames Barrier and members of the Confined Spaces First Response Team require training to deal with the rescue and transportation of casualties in the case of a serious accident. We worked with the Environment Agency to design a tailored programme, which started in June 2003. Staff taking part in these first aid training events are also participating in confined spaces safety training provided by Develop.

Staff from the Central Science Laboratory take part in annual first aid at work scenario training. Incidents which could be encountered are replicated using actors and make up. Teams of first aiders are judged on their ability to deal with the casualties.

Bettys & Taylors, a well-known Yorkshire family business, is committed to training staff to their full potential. In addition to on-site scenario training, First aid at Work updates and refreshers, Emergency Aid in the home courses are available to those who do not have on official role, but would like to know about first aid techniques. All new First Aiders at Work also take part in specialised anaphylaxis and auto-injector training.

So that children who have severe allergic reactions can also take part in holiday activities, all leisure staff at Harrogate Borough Council take part in anaphylaxis and auto-injector training.
