What Are the Learning Outcomes for a First Aid Course Capalaba?

First aid training covers the practical skills and knowledge needed to provide a first aid response during a medical emergency. Participants learn how to provide first aid in line with guidelines developed by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other clinical bodies. The content of the face-to-face training varies depending on the unit of competency. For Provide First Aid (HLTAID011), training providers cover the following elements:

• How to respond to emergency situations
• Applying appropriate first aid procedures
• Communicating details of the incident
• Reviewing the incident

First aid courses include CPR training. You learn how to perform CPR, provide first aid, and communicate with emergency services. Industry-specific and specialised first aid training may cover additional topics, such as mental health first aid.

Who Needs a First Aid Certificate in Capalaba?

First aid certificates are typically required for professions in the healthcare, childcare, and education sectors. However, all businesses need to ensure that a minimum number of workers are trained to administer first aid. 

National regulations require most healthcare workers, day care workers, and teachers to complete a first aid course. The Work Health and Safety Act (WHS Act) outlines the mandatory requirements for first aid certification in various fields, including:

• School-based services
• Centre-based services
• Family day care services

All staff involved in family day care services need a current approved first aid qualification. Schools and centre-based services need at least one staff member trained in first aid. Workers in these fields typically complete the HLTAID012 (Provide First Aid in an Education & Care Setting) course. 

Educators and childcare workers also need to meet specific anaphylaxis training requirements, such as anaphylaxis management training. Employers in other industries need to ensure that one or more workers complete a first aid course, such as the standard Provide First Aid (HLTAID011) training course. 

Under the WHS Act, persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) must limit exposure to health and safety risks in the workplace. To meet WHS regulations, a PCBU needs to provide access to first aid equipment and an adequate number of trained first aiders.

First aiders are employees who hold a nationally recognised statement of attainment. You do not receive a CPR certificate. The statement of attainment demonstrates your completion of the course. 

The first aid training courses must be offered by a registered training organisation (RTO). At OHS.com.au, we partner with the leading RTOs to give you access to the best training and prices at a local first aid training centre near you.

How Many First Aiders Does My Business Need?

If you are a PCBU, you need to ensure enough workers earn a first aid certificate through face-to-face training. The recommendation is to train one worker for every 50 workers in an office or other low-risk workplace. 

You should have one first aider for every 25 workers in a high-risk workplace, such as a construction site. For remote high-risk workplaces, you need one trained first aider for every 10 workers.

How Often Do You Need First Aid Qualification Renewal in Capalaba?

First aid training should be renewed every three years. First aiders should retake a face-to-face first aid course to keep their training current. Refresher training in CPR is recommended each year.
