ADVANCED FIRST AID AND TRAUMA TRAINING COURSE


HFR Solutions CIC, a full service risk prevention and emergency response provider based in the Humber region, has developed a specialist, clinically-governed, advanced first aid training course in- conjunction with Centrica and Trauma Resuscitation Services Ltd, for organisations operating in remote locations and within the offshore renewables sector, in response to heightened risk for offshore workers with the vast distance between shore and wind turbine.


The increase to medical response times for attending the scene of a casualty in the case of a remote emergency means that operators must now place greater emphasis on advanced first aid, emergency care capabilities and the provision of more advanced lifesaving skills.


4 DAY TRAINING COURSE


The company is one of the few training providers with the expertise to deliver a 4 Day Immediate Emergency Care & Advanced Trauma Training Course, clinically governed by leading healthcare professionals. This allows their highly- experienced instructors to train delegates to administer on-site pain relief, medicine and prescription drugs at offshore and remote locations and support the provision of medical equipment. Rob Granger, Lead Instructor from HFR Solutions CIC commented, “It has been recognised that health and safety legislation and basic first aid training is insufficient, should an incident occur where a casualty needs to be stabilised and receive first aid and pain relief offshore. This new course bridges that gap, delivering best practice training that upskills first aiders to advanced first aiders and increases their competence levels for handling such circumstances.”


FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENT


Leading operators Centrica, Dong Energy and Statkraft confirm that HFR Solutions CIC have addressed a fundamental requirement launching their URIECA - UK Remote Immediate Emergency Care Advanced 4 Day Training Course by commenting…


• Tracey Nielsen, HSE Engineer, Dong Energy commented: “It is good to be exposed to advanced trauma and immediate emergency care training only in roles that require this knowledge in a day- to-day basis. The course was delivered in an excellent manner and we were made aware of how to react and treat victims in traumatic situations.”


• Stephen Adams, Operations Manager, Centrica Renewables commented: “The time taken to respond to a trauma incident offshore has always been a concern. The skills learned on this course will enable a quicker response time in the field and an increased chance of preserving life in the event of a major incident.”


• Ross McMillan, Operational Lead, Statkraft – Sheringham Shoal concluded: “From a work perspective the training will enable me to manage a serious situation calmly and methodically based on the algorithm and practical skills given, hopefully enabling speedy treatment to those in remote locations. “The course delivery was excellent and although I hope I never have to use it, I gained a great deal of skills which I can maintain due to the E-learning and clinical governance package.”
