Be Safe at work…….

It is something most of us do as part of being an adult. We wake up, we get dressed, then we do the workplace rally.

Yes you know the one, its that time in the morning when we delay leaving for work for as long as possible before we kiss our loved ones goodbye and race out the door to work. What ever way you leave the house we all expect to come home in one safe piece and carry on with our lives, no one expects it to be any different. Take a little look at the following video.

OK it is a little extreme but shows what can happen when safety nets are not in place and people are not concentrating on what is happening. This is WHEN incidents happen, this is when people either get seriously life changing injuries or worse DIE.

according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) IN 2015 – 2016 144 (fig 1)  workers were killed at work

and approximately 622,000 (fig 2) received non fatal injuries.

These are scary numbers, even worse is that although the numbers are decreasing the types of accidents that are occurring are continuously similar. Although it is agreed that “accidents” do happen most of the incidents that are occurring are generally a fault on a human level IE corners cut, safety measures circumnavigated or inadequate training.

Would you have confidence in the first aid skills your staff have, can they cope with being first on scene and managing patients with potentially life threatening injuries. Would you be confident that your employees would be able to cope with and confidently manage the scene.

First aid training is much more than just “passing” a course it’s having the responsibility of someone else’s loved one, the life of a colleague in your hands. It’s having the right skills, knowledge and confidence to manage the scene.

Kbt can can give you these skills. All our instructors are from an emergency service background. We have been there. Let us give your staff the training they really need.
