Electrical Industry First Aid - Course Overview

This course helps electricians develop the awareness and hands-on ability needed to respond to medical emergencies in electrical working environments. It focuses on the immediate actions required in the early stages of an incident, supporting candidates to manage a casualty safely until a qualified first aider or emergency services arrive.

The training reflects the risks commonly encountered in the electrical industry, helping participants make fast, effective decisions in high-risk situations. It also builds confidence in recognising emergencies, providing initial care, and supporting workplace safety during critical moments.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is ideal for establishments that already have designated First Aid at Work trained first aiders in place and want to provide additional emergency response training for their electrical teams.

It's an ideal option for all electricians and apprentices who are more likely to be with the casualty at the most important time, and until the arrival of the qualified first aider or the emergency services.

Having never taken a first aid course, it really helped me learn about helping someone whether a family member or a stranger. I now know what to do and how to deal with a potential life threatening situation. I thought Brian was fantastic.

Thank you very much for the 2 free free first aid courses the parents found them to be very useful and were surprised how much was covered in such a short time. The delivery was amazing (parents words) and very informative. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future.

The trainer explained clear objectives and kept refreshing things we had done so it stuck. He was also sensitive to experiences of individuals partaking in the course.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Dan Pedley. We are all in agreement that Dan Pedley's excellent training & fantastic lessons will not be forgotten. In fact, we are all in agreement that we did not want it to end. We have all learned more today than what has ever been taught before on previous first aid courses. So, thank you First Response First Aid, but more importantly thank you Dan Pedley for your supreme, first class training. Keep up the awesome work! August 2018

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for making the arrangements in regards to the First Aid Course last week. The course was super and went very well. The instructor was a great help and his style of instruction was excellent and enjoyed by all.

I am writing to you following the Blended PFA course I completed today, 1/10/22, in Bedworth with Paul. I would just like to say he is an absolute credit to your team, and I wanted to send my thanks and appreciation for how kind, caring and thoughtful he was throughout the course. I was very anxious on the day about attending due to leaving my 5-month-old son, who I breastfeed, but Paul made me feel so relaxed; he wanted to ensure my son's needs were considered and put first, and he was willing to adapt to my sons routine, and he made me feel so calm about leaving my boy for the first time. He delivered the course with such enthusiasm and animation, and he was just an all-around friendly, genuine guy who I hope realises how valued he is! I will remember more from this course than any previous FA course I've ever attended. Thank you, Paul ???? We need more people like you in this world. Leanne

“I want to say a big THANK YOU. Your first aid course saved my grandson's life today, he choked badly and I managed to dislodge the bread from his mouth, after about 12 back slaps. Your courses save lives. I will never moan about doing a first aid course again! THANK YOU!”
Mark,
The course was very good – the course presenter (Dave) was easily the best I've encountered – really outstanding, great balance of humour and fact and anecdotes. All participants seemed very engaged throughout, so he worked his audience well.

Can't fault Brian or the course at all. He makes what could be a difficult and complicated course, something alive, engaging and informative. Excellent value for money. Well done Brian!! Keep it up.
