Andrew Hills, of washroom and janitorial supplies company, Futures Supplies & Support Services Ltd has now become a company First Aider. He recently completed a four day training course at the St John’s Ambulance Training Centre in Croydon in accordance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
The course included topics such as how to treat minor injuries and cuts and wounds. It also dealt with handling someone in shock or who has suffered a sprain or strain or having a heart attack. It also involved putting someone into the recovery position and aiding emergency breaths with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Andrew, who is currently Office Supervisor at Futures Supplies says, ‘I have always had an interest in First Aid and was happy to gain a recognised qualification. I feel that I can add a new dimension and give more to my current role at Futures by learning new skills.’
Futures Supplies Managing Director Mandie Kemp says, “We are happy to provide funding for this type of course as our company staff welfare is extremely important to us.”
