EH&S, 10 minutes, self-paced
First Aid
Essential first aid skills for workplace emergencies
Part of the compliance library: free for every employee at any company size.
Who it is for
Employees who may be first on the scene when a coworker is hurt, and anyone their employer designates as a workplace first-aid responder. Useful in workplaces where medical help is not immediately on site.
What you will learn
- Assess an injured or ill person and decide when to call for emergency help versus provide basic aid
- Perform core first-aid responses for common workplace situations, including bleeding, burns, and choking
- Recognize signs of a medical emergency such as a possible heart attack, stroke, or severe allergic reaction
- Use a first-aid kit and protect yourself with barriers while helping someone else
What changes on the job
- Faster, calmer response in the first minutes of an injury or medical event
- Clearer judgment about when to call emergency services right away
- Basic care delivered correctly for bleeding, burns, and choking
This course is one part of the mix. The same topic runs as a live workshop where a facilitator who has held the role watches you practice, and Coach Taylor follows up afterward.
Talk to ARIA
Ask what you would ask us.
ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions
Questions about this course.
Does completing this certify me in first aid or CPR?
No. This is awareness and foundational knowledge, not a hands-on certification. Formal CPR and first-aid certification requires an in-person, skills-tested course from a recognized provider. This course helps you respond sensibly and know your limits.
How long does it take?
About 15 minutes, self-paced. It is a good primer before or alongside a hands-on certification course.
What should I do if I am not confident helping?
The course emphasizes that calling for professional help is often the most important first step. It teaches you to act within your ability, protect yourself, and get trained responders involved quickly.
