Promet has added ten new accredited online courses covering essential topics like Manual Handling, Fire Safety, Working at Height, Asbestos Awareness, and more. Designed for all industries, our flexible, interactive training helps you stay compliant and confident at work.

UK law requires employers to provide ‘adequate and appropriate’ first aid cover, but what does that mean? This post explains HSE’s guidance on first aid needs assessments, suggested numbers of first aiders, kit contents, and staff communication — with evidence from INDG214 and L74.

Choking can happen to anyone. Learn how to spot the signs, take quick action for adults, children, and babies, and know what steps to avoid. Simple first aid knowledge could save a life.

Not sure which first aid course you need? Emergency First Aid at Work is a 1-day option for low-risk settings, while First Aid at Work is a 3-day course covering more serious injuries. Both meet HSE standards and are valid for 3 years.

First aid saves lives — but hesitation costs seconds. Many people worry about doing harm or forgetting steps. Our training builds confidence, clarity, and practical skills so you can act when it matters most.

“An employer shall provide or ensure that there are provided such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first aid to be rendered to employees if they are injured or become ill at work”.

Currently first aid at work training only covers physical aspects of ill health at work and does not include any training on how to manage mental health problems. This is unfortunate because mental ill health is common and the cause can often be related to work.

The best way to train adults is to allow them to experience and gain knowledge through their own efforts rather than by telling them what to do. This is called Experiential Learning. Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically ‘learning through reflection on doing’.

Let's be clear, in the vast majority of workplaces there is no "legal requirement" for an employer to have a defibrillator. Just because it isn't a legal requirement though, is it right not to have one? We try to explain why it might not be such a bad idea.

Take a look at our new Promet Packs that we provide to each learner on all of our courses. This is the Promet way of ensuring effective, confident and safe learning.
