Construction First Aid
Case Study

Challenge

Alliance Groundworks and Civils operate across multiple construction sites in the UK, specialising in housebuilding. With high-risk environments involving heavy machinery, deep excavations, and hazardous materials, the company identified a need to strengthen its first aid response capabilities. Although the team had general first aid knowledge, they lacked training tailored to the unique hazards of groundworks and civils.

Solution

Alliance Groundworks and Civils partnered with Find Your Mindset to deliver a customised Construction First Aid Course. The course was designed to address the specific risks associated with groundworks and civils, including:

• Trauma Care for Crush Injuries & Heavy Machinery Incidents

• Managing Falls from Height & Confined Space Rescues

• Handling Exposure to Hazardous Materials & Chemical Burns

• CPR & Defibrillator Use in a Construction Setting

• Bleeding, Fractures & Musculoskeletal Injuries

Implementation

A mix of practical hands-on, scenario-based simulations, and theoretical learning was provided at the company’s site to ensure real-world applicability. Employees were trained to respond quickly and effectively to on-site emergencies, boosting confidence and preparedness.

Results

Enhanced Safety Culture: Employees felt better equipped to act in emergencies, reducing response times and improving on-site safety awareness.

Regulatory Compliance: The course met the requirements of the First Aid at Work Regulations and complied with the standards of the First Aid Industry Body.

Increased Employee Confidence: Staff valued the investment in their personal development.

Conclusions

For groundworks and civils companies looking to improve workplace safety, comply with regulations, and equip employees with lifesaving skills, specialist first aid training is a game-changer.
