36 New Workplace First Aiders Trained as Flavourfresh get a taste for First Aid

Over a focused three-day period, Allan Shaw Experience First Aid delivered multiple Emergency First Aid at Work training sessions for the team at Flavourfresh, a company based in Hesketh Bank near Preston.

Led by experienced trainer Allan Shaw, these one-day accredited courses equipped 36 members of staff with essential life-saving skills to respond confidently and quickly in the event of a workplace accident or emergency.

What Does Emergency First Aid at Work Involve?

The one-day course is designed for low to medium-risk workplaces and covers all key areas required to meet Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards. Delivered in an engaging, hands-on format, the training included:

  • Assessing a casualty and the situation quickly and calmly

  • Performing adult CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

  • Managing unconscious casualties and those suffering from seizures

  • Controlling serious bleeding, treating burns and shock

  • Responding to choking incidents

  • Recording incidents and understanding employer responsibilities

Why It Matters: First Aid in the Workplace

For a busy operation like Flavourfresh, where staff work across multiple departments, having trained first aiders on-site is essential to ensuring a safe working environment.

By completing the course, each of the 36 staff members is now qualified to:

  • Provide immediate care during an accident

  • Support injured colleagues until emergency services arrive

  • Act as a vital link in their workplace’s safety procedures
