Certified First Aid at Work Responder

Holders can manage an incident safely, carry out a primary survey and recognise when to summon emergency help. They understand cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator use, the recovery position, control of bleeding, choking, shock, burns, fractures and common medical conditions, and record incidents appropriately. AQSCERT certification recognises knowledge and assessed skills; it does not replace any training or approval required by national first aid regulations.

Who it is for: Nominated workplace first aiders, appointed persons and anyone responsible for first aid provision.
