Good Bye and Hello

InvenioTraining Ltd like so many other businesses is temporarily on hold.

All our staff are NHS workers and are now focusing full time on their clinical roles.

Once we have reached the other side, we will all be back and looking forward to catching up and completing training courses.

We are of course able to answer phone calls and emails, please be patient if responses are delayed.

There are options of online modules to keep up to date on first aid skills and the HSE have released a statement on expiring first aid qualifications (below).

Keep well, keep safe and look after each other.

We shall look forward to saying hello again once this is over.

Regards 

Bruce and the team.

Please find information released by the HSE for Employers, released Tuesday 19th March 2020

[ Start
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is aware that people holding Offshore Medic (OM), Offshore First Aid (OFA), First Aid at Work (FAW) or Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificates nearing expiry date, might experience disruption to access to requalification training as a result of events or circumstances generated by the coronavirus pandemic.HSE’s current guidance on the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981: https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l74.pdf and the Offshore Installations and Pipeline Works (First-Aid) Regulations 1989 https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l123.pdf is that those holding an OM, OFA, FAW or EFAW qualification should undertake retraining before their original certificate expires and HSE strongly recommends that employers, and individuals holding those qualifications should plan for requalification training well in advance of expiry dates. If however requalification training is prevented for reasons associated directly with coronavirus or by complying with related government advice, it is reasonable and practical to extend the validity of current certificates by up to 3 months. Anyone taking advantage of this extension should be able to describe clearly their reasons for delaying requalification training, and demonstrate steps they have taken to undertake the training, if required. This guidance comes into effect for certificates expiring on or after 16th March 2020. HSE will review this matter over the coming months and will issue further statements as necessary. Also, the Department of Education has commented as follows: The Department for Education supports the HSE statement regarding the extension of first aid certificates during coronavirus emergency and that it can be applied to paediatric first aid certificates held by staff in early years provision.
