Do you have a specific training requirement?

Do you want training to be tailored to your needs?

Do you want your employees to all receive the same message?

This is what First Response does!!Bespoke training is a challenge we always relish. First Response have designed and implemented Health & Safety training programmes with many of our customers over

the years. These bespoke courses range from very minor changes to standard courses, such as for schools we have added a ‘Paediatric Element’ to the standard HSE

approved Emergency First Aid at Work course , to designing a complete three year health and safety training programme for one of the largest employers in the UK.

Examples of bespoke trainingExample 1: This example is a package First Response delivers for a company with 5000+ employees of whom include Directors, Office Staff, Cleaners, Electricians and

Plumbers etc. For this “Triennial Training” package , we provide one day of training per year to all staff on subjects of the clients choice.

The schedule below shows the topics delivered as part of a rolling three year programme. Each course is tailored to the policies and procedures of the organisation, whilst

also including what is required by legislation.

Year 1: Basic First, Asbestos Awareness & Occupational Health

Year 2: Manual Handling, Working at Height, Asbestos Awareness & Driving Safely

Year 3: Principles of Risk assessment, Environmental Awareness, Electrical Safety & Asbestos Awareness

Example 2: This example is a half day first aid course designed specifically for a care organisation who provide homes and services that enable people to enjoy a good

later life through independent living. Our client didn’t require fully trained First Aid at Work staff as they are not solely responsible for the people in their care however they

wanted their staff to have the confidence and basic skills to deal with the most common injuries or illnesses they come across.
