Occupational First Aid

Southern Safety have been offering practical and very interesting First Aid courses for four years. We take great pride in keeping our courses interesting and relevant to the participants and as a result we have never had a dissatisfied customer or a participant fail a course in that time.

We provide training for a large number of companies and public bodies such as the FAI, SouthDoc, various Skillnets, Kilkenny Shops nationwide and many others.

We will assist you in satisfying both your moral and legal requirements. Our courses meet the standards set out by the relevant authorities and are to the most recent guidelines. Occupational First Aid is FETAC accredited.

This course is the accepted standard for the provision of first aid in the workplace.

All course materials are supplied by Southern Safety, including a comprehensive first aid manual for each participant.
