Award Winning Training

At GXO, the safety of colleagues is our number one priority and that doesn’t just stop within the workplace. It is crucial when driving to and from work that people recognise the dangers and have the skills to be able to make the right decisions to help save lives. This course taught me a huge amount and without doubt I’m safer on the roads because of it

We know many patients die at the scene of road traffic collisions because of a failure to open an airway, or to arrest external haemorrhage. The Driver First Assist course will empower drivers to deliver life-saving skills, helping to keep a patient alive in those valuable minutes before the ambulance arrives. This course also gives drivers the confidence to ensure they fully appreciate the importance of scene safety and good communication with the emergency services. The more first responders we have, the better. Could that be you?

Having worked in the Road Transport Industry for nearly 40 years and having been an Expert Witness in many serious and fatal road traffic collisions, the importance of emergency first aid at the scene of such incidents should not be overlooked. Driver First Assist gives that opportunity to ensure that more individuals and road users have the skills to secure a scene and to apply emergency first aid, before the Emergency Services arrive thereby, improving the chances of survival for the most critically injured. I would encourage anyone who travels on a regular basis and therefore, might be the first person on the scene to attend one of these courses and obtain vital life-saving skills.

The hon. Gentleman, (Rob Flello MP) highlighted eloquently the difference made by DFA, and our nation is stronger for its work. (Hansard, November 2015)

Very impressed with the trainer. Delivered content clearly and concisely without ever talking down to attendees. One of the most exciting courses I have ever attended.

Excellent Training and course. The Content was pitched just right with a good mix of presenting/videos and practical.

Providing professional drivers, who are often first to witness or come across such incidents, with basic life support training and the knowledge to know what to do will ultimately mean patients get the care they need whilst emergency help is en route.

Iron Mountain has been recognised for our Road Safety ethos over the years, utilising Driver First Assist has been a significant factor in embedding a safety culture within our Transportation teams.
