Shopping and Retail

We have worked with a number of shopping centres, wholesalers, department stores, retail units and shops across the region, delivering first aid and health and safety training courses.

Our Specialist Skills Team delivers First Aid at Work, and First Aid at Work Requalification courses to staff, ensuring that they have the skills required should an incident occur. The First Aid at Work training covers a wide range of first aid emergencies and enables candidates to qualify as a First Aider in the workplace. It provides practical experience and includes scenarios and role play to build knowledge and confidence. Recently, we developed and delivered first aid training for those working with, or sharing an environment with wheelchair users, which received extremely positive feedback.

Especially relevant for areas frequented by the public, is our increasingly popular short course on defibrillator training. This course can be delivered over a quiet hour (if there ever is one) at your workplace to up to 12 staff.  We can also recommend which defibrillator would be most suitable for your workplace. We have found a number of venues have received praise and generated goodwill from the perceived community spirit attached with displaying a defibrillator.

We also deliver a number of bespoke courses, including covering themes such as manual handling and hazards.

We appreciate the pressures and constraints faced by those working in retail and try our best to accommodate, i.e. delivering training on-site, grouping sessions together to be delivered across one day, providing guidance in terms of compliance and, by offering competitive pricing.
