Emergency First Aid at Work
There can be an emergency at your workplace at any time. If your employees are trained in providing first aid in these instances, they will be able to provide help quickly and save lives. At MJ Training East LTD, our first aid at work training courses provide your employees with an extensive first aid skill set so that they can identify incidents and manage them adequately. This course also fulfils the recommendations of the HSE that all workplaces should have a designated first aider to provide immediate assistance until more qualified help arrives.
On the 1st October 2017 the Level 2 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (QCF) course, has been relaunched as the Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (QCF) Course. This is a one day course, whose certificate is valid for three years. We can also award our own non-regulated certificate for this course, which is still recognised by the Health & Safety Executive and is exactly the same course, but you are not paying the cost of the regulated certificate.
First Aid at Work and First Aid at Work Requalification
At MJ Training East LTD, we offer both the 3 day and 2 day Level 3 Award in First Aid at Work (RQF) qualification. Or we can award our own Non-Accredited Certificate which is still recognised by the Health & Safety Executive at a reduced price if preferred. We offer this qualification at our venue in Lowestoft on our open courses, or we can come to your venue to deliver the course to your staff on site.
You do not have to undertake this course on three consecutive days, so long as the three days are completed within 6-10 weeks depending on whether it is the 2 or 3 day course your undertaking.
We also provide ongoing support for all courses for the lifetime of the certificate, as well as reminders for renewals and where certificates are due to expire. A revision service for first aiders is also available as well as 24/7 support.
Once your first aid certificate has expired you can no longer act as a first aider in the workplace and other arrangements must be made by the employer to ensure sufficient cover.
Annual Refresher Courses
We run these half day courses on the morning of the Emergency First Aid at Work and the morning of the Emergency Paediatric First Aid Courses.
This morning session satisfies the Health & Safety Executive with regards to the Annual Refresher in first aid, which they strongly recommended all first aiders undertake, therefore helping a business comply with the following HSE requirement, that, ‘a business must ensure their first aiders remain competent at all times.’
We cover the following topics:
Role of the first aider
Accessing an incident
Managing an unresponsive casualty
Recovery position
CPR and safe use of an AED
Seizures
Treatment of minor wounds, bleeding and shock
Emergency First Aid
We also offer a half day Emergency First Aid course that satisfies the CQC requirements for the Care Standards Certificate. You also achieve a non-accredited certificate. Contact us for more details.
Basic Life Support/ First Aid / Family First Aid Sessions

Combined Level 3 EFAW & EPFA Course
We do now offer a Combined Level 3 Emergency First Aid at Work and Emergency Paediatric First Aid Course. This is really useful for any businesses that have both children and adults on the premises. This could include, schools, youth groups, shops, restaurants etc. Bearing in mind that the child age range is now up to 18 years old, so more businesses would benefit from this combined course. We are offering this at just a fraction more than our standalone courses, so you are essentially covering the cost of the additional certificate and gaining two qualifications.
With this course, there needs to be a minimum contact time of 7 hours, excluding breaks. So, we would either need to do timings of the following: 09:00 – 5.00pm or 08:30 – 4:30pm etc.

I just wanted to thank you personally from all of us.
This week we had a clients 80 year old wife go down whilst we were working at their property. She had heat stroke which lead to her collapsing, going into a fit and then stopped breathing. Thankfully she started breathing about 20 seconds later just as i was getting ready to start CPR. I assumed that because she was older and the fit had caused her system to reboot. Our whole team went into a synchronized system of emergency, one shutting down machinery, one calling an ambulance and another bringing me the first aid and trauma box. We kept her in the recovery position as we knew she would feel faint if she sat back up and monitored her until the ambulance arrived. I am 100% sure we would of not been able to help her effectively, relay information and know what to do if we had not attended the course you delivered. None of us were really prepared for the adrenaline of the situation and the clients husband going into mild shock too, but afterwards we all chatted about how you said it takes you by surprise and you will feel exhausted because of our mild panic/fight or flight instinct.
The paramedics were happy with how we had her and we were able to provide them with our basic assessment that we assumed it was extreme heat stroke. Thankfully shes made a full recovery and again we would like to compliment you on how your course allowed us to be of assistance rather than a hindrance by knowing what to to.
The impact of a fire is always very devastating. One of the primary benefits of undergoing fire safety training is that you will learn a few fire safety tips. Follow them and you can save lives and minimise damage in case of a fire. Saving lives become easier when necessary measures are in place and effective procedures followed. Few things you can install to minimise fire damages when they occur are fire alarms, emergency lighting, smoke detectors, escape routes and fire routes. If you are willing to ensure your safety, there are a few fire safety rules you can follow.
5 Fire Safety Rules Taught During Fire Safety Training
- Check The Smoke Alarms
Just installing a few smoke alarms in your property is not sufficient. You need to ensure that they are working correctly. If the alarm in your kitchen doesn’t alert you even after the bacon has burned, it is an indication that you have to install a new smoke alarm. Their primary objective is to use visual and audio signalisation to warn people about a possible fire and save lives. Check them every week instead of removing the batteries just because you think that you won’t require them.
- Quit Cigarettes
Whether you are willing to keep your residential or commercial property safe, make sure you ban indoor smoking. You will be surprised to know that careless smoking is one of the leading causes of fire deaths. Leaving burning cigarettes unattended is a strict no-no! Don’t smoke if there is gas, aerosol cans, newspapers, paints or other flammable object around. Such fire accidents can occur anytime and the easiest way to prevent them is by completely removing the risks.
- Avoid Burning Candles
Even if you are one of those people who love burning candles and incense, avoid lighting them in your room if you want to prevent fire hazards. Though scented candles help students unwind and chill out, they are often banned from campus accommodations by the hostel authority. Reed diffusers and battery candles are always considered to be a safer alternative. They even last longer than traditional candles and help you save money.
- Know The Safety Equipment
People undergoing fire safety training in Norfolk are taught how to use fire blankets, fire extinguishers and other fire safety equipment. Whether you have them in your home or office, remember where you are keeping them and how to use them. Every second matters in case of a fire. Even if you have a tight budget, buy a small fire extinguisher and you can have more peace of mind.
- Switch Off Phone Chargers
Not everyone using smartphones are aware of the fact that fires caused due to phone chargers is gradually enhancing. Don’t forget to switch off the charger after it has charged completely. If you are planning to replace them, buy official replacements. They are manufactured and tested to the highest industry standards and are safe.
These being said, it’s time you follow the fire safety tips stated above and undergo relevant fire safety training to keep yourself and your family members safe.
