Why do our customers choose us?

Having successfully gained what was previously referred to ‘HSE accreditation’ for the provision of first aid at work training many years ago, and with over 20 years’ experience of teaching and advising on first aid in the workplace to a wide range of organisations, we’ve a proven track record in this specialist area.

We provide our own open courses for local businesses, deliver first aid at work training in-house for organisations such as Accolade Wines and the University of Bristol, and work in partnership with training providers delivering a variety of programmes on their behalf.

Our trainers gained their hands-on first aid experience from a variety of different backgrounds over many years including nursing, armed forces, emergency services, hospitality, Voluntary Aid Societies, as well as other industry sectors before becoming qualified instructors.

Our administration team and health and safety consultants will advise you on the specific requirements for your business / organisation, taking into consideration legal duties, published guidance and the types of accident / incident that may occur.

We provide the most up to date, easy to read, first aid books relevant to the course and ensure there is plenty of training aids appropriate for the individual course to allow everyone participating to practice their skills.  These include; training manikins, choking training vest, defibrillators, and a training pack of dressings for each individual

How do we approach first aid at work training?

We provide courses delivered in a relaxed and informative style, many of which are nationally accredited, designed to meet specific industry requirements or a tailor-made to individual and organisations specific and varied needs.

The emphasis on every course is to allow delegates to become confident in their skills through a range of theory and practical sessions as well as continuing assessment and feedback from the trainer.

What should you expect from Acorn Health & Safety?

Our first aid courses will provide the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical hands on skills, ensuring confidence when dealing with an emergency situation as well as ensuring compliance with any regulatory first aid requirements. Our trainers use their experience to provide practical lifesaving skills that can be used in the street, at work, or within any organisation.

We’ll provide delegates with a variety of printed course materials including workbooks and handouts and on completion of learning, delegates will receive an appropriate certificate.

Post course our team of consultants and trainers are available to answer any questions you might have.  You’ll also receive an automatic reminder prior to course expiry.

Our ‘first aid at work course’ portfolio is just one group of over 60 courses we offer. Acorn Health & Safety provides training and consultancy in first aid, fire safety, food safety and manual handling, healthcare training and health and safety.

Our ‘in-house’ course programmes are the most cost effective option if you’ve a number of staff requiring training, and in many cases can be adapted to include reference to local policy, practice and documentation.  These courses can be delivered either at any suitable venue or you can hire our purpose-built training centre located in Warmley, Bristol, whichever is best suited to your needs.

We also run a rolling programme of ‘open courses’ which are particularly suited for individuals, organisations that only have a few delegates or those looking to release small groups of staff at a time.
