In an emergency, the ability to act quickly and correctly can make the difference between life and death. Accredited by Highfield, one of the UK's leading awarding organisations, our courses give participants the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to respond effectively to casualties.
Who is it for: Designated workplace first aiders and anyone who wants to be prepared to respond in an emergency at work, at home, or in the community. Required under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1982
Manual handling is the single most common cause of workplace injury in the UK — accounting for over a third of all incidents reported to the HSE each year. Practical, HSENI-compliant training that gives your workforce the technique to lift, carry, and move loads safely.
Who is it for: A legal requirement for most workplaces where staff lift, carry, push, or pull loads — particularly warehousing, logistics, retail, construction, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Employers in Northern Ireland have a legal duty to ensure their staff are appropriately trained in health and safety — and employees have a responsibility to apply what they learn in the workplace. All training delivered by The Academy is fully compliant with HSENI requirements and results in a recognised certification.
Every workplace must have trained first aiders in numbers appropriate to its size and risk profile.
Employers must assess manual handling risks and provide training where lifting, carrying, or moving loads is part of the role.
Certification records for first aid and manual handling must be documented and available for HSENI inspection.
First aid and manual handling certifications require periodic refresher training to remain valid and effective.
