Your main assets in any workplace environment can be characterised as the working staff, teams and personnel, all helping to keep your business running and ticking over to meet the company aims, objectives and purpose. These make up the ‘life’s blood’ of your company’s achievements. Without there good physical or mental health, the structure of your business can begin to deteriorate. Therefore, knowing what workplace support is needed, recognising how it can strengthen the workplace environment, and choosing professional course leaders who can supply you and your staff with the resources needed to apply such support structures, is vital to a thriving, healthy and supportive business.
Her at Action Plus First Aid we have a number of courses that will give you a working environment that is first of all safe, capable of attending to any emergency first aid situations, and secondly secure in that you have a knowledge of how to tend to, and care for, your staff’s mental well-being. These two areas of training that we can provide you with at Action Plus First Aid, also incorporates team building. The skills that can be provided while a company’s staff are taking a course together can help to encourage the trainees to put their new skills into action as soon as they re-enter the workplace environment. Support from their fellow staff members, as well as support that can be gained from having a good knowledge of how to care for oneself both physically and mentally, can be gained from a First aid at work, 3-day course, and our mental health first aid course.
First Aid in the Workplace
Effective first aid measures can be vital to the treatment of someone during an accident or/and emergency. This may seem like an obvious statement, but only when you embark on this course, will you recognise just how much first aid can support the overall results of any medical care. For example, should you recognise the symptoms of am allergic reaction, taking the measures needed to sustain life until professional emergency services get to your location, can make all the difference. First aid comprises of what is known as the 3 p’s – to preserve life, prevent deterioration, and promote recovery. All of these support measures can help the appropriate emergency services to have a greater success rate, if you are capable of giving workplace support via first aid.
Mental First Aid in the Workplace
This course offers you the chance to play a key role in the workplace support network of your fellow workmates. By learning to notice the signs related to mental health conditions, you can support your colleagues to ask for help from more advanced mental health services, and to remain a productive and valued member of your workplace team. You can also place preventative measures in your workplace. For example, should you work in an adult care home, and you lose someone in death, then realising that this will have an effect on even professional relationships, means that support systems will be there to act even before the event occurs.
