(Helping you with OSH compliance)

Every Reasonably Practicable Step (Employers must take them)

Apart from helping injured employees to avoid the pain & suffering of an accident, there is a legal obligation for employers to provide first aid facilities in the event of an injury occurring.

The completion and sign off of these training courses help in providing employers with a defence. It helps in those instances where it is required to prove the employer has in fact taken 'every reasonably practicable step'.

Employers Assistance Ltd is hosting a series of First Aid Training courses provided by Life Care Consultants Ltd and you are invited to send an employee or two for training.

There are plans to run courses in other locations, based on the demand. If you are located outside the Auckland area and you would like to attend a training course, please email the details to info@employers.co.nz or phone 0800 15 8000 and we will be in touch.

NZQA accredited, workplace based courses covering unit standards 6400, 6401, 6402. These courses are run in half the time of other providers.

(Full course 1 day, Refresher ½ day), providing immediate significant cost savings to companies.

Course certificate will be posted out to you after completion.

We run a recall system, where we will let you know when refreshers are due.

Tea and coffee provided - bring your lunch or walk across the road to our handy lunch bars.

For groups of 8 or over - we will come to your premises to run the course, and use real scenarios relevant to your business

To book please email info@employers.co.nz or phone 0800 15 8000, space is limited.
