🩺 SAMPLE – Getting the Right Information Fast

In a first aid situation, once immediate dangers have been dealt with, SAMPLE is a great and simple way to gather vital information about a casualty.

It helps first aiders understand what’s going on and make better decisions while waiting for further help.

SAMPLE stands for Signs & Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral intake, and Events leading up.

Asking these questions gives a clearer picture of the casualty’s condition and helps identify possible causes of illness or injury.

Using SAMPLE also improves communication with emergency services, ensuring accurate and relevant information is passed on if 999 is required.

It’s a core skill taught on our EFAW & FAW courses and is useful in workplaces, public settings, and everyday emergencies.

🏋️ Manual Handling Training – Reducing Injuries, Protecting Your Workforce

Manual handling remains one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal injuries, lost time, and compensation claims across UK workplaces.

Backs, shoulders, knees and joints take a beating when tasks are poorly planned or incorrectly performed.

At MedCover UK, we deliver practical, engaging and legally compliant Manual Handling training designed to reduce risk, improve confidence and protect both employees and employers.

Our training covers:
✔️ Understanding how injuries occur – anatomy and biomechanics
✔️ Identifying hazardous tasks and loads
✔️ Risk assessment and dynamic decision-making
✔️ Safe lifting, lowering, pushing and pulling techniques
✔️ Use of mechanical aids and team handling
✔️ Real-world scenarios relevant to your workplace environment.

We don’t believe in generic, one-size-fits-all training.

Every session is tailored to your industry and working practices, whether that’s:
Construction & trades
Warehousing & logistics
Healthcare & care settings
Retail & hospitality
Education & office environments

Our approach is:
Practical. Realistic. Defensible.
Because good Manual Handling training isn’t just about compliance – it’s about reducing injuries, improving performance and demonstrating genuine duty of care.

🔥 Fire Safety Training – Doing It Right, Not Just Doing It Loud

At MedCover UK, we deliver Fire Safety & Fire Warden training that is professional, compliant, and defensible - not just dramatic for the sake of it, that's just our boring HSE logic kicking in.

There’s a lot of debate around live fire training, and rightly so.

Yes, live fire can be beneficial in the right environment…
But only when it is:
✔️ Properly risk assessed
✔️ Delivered in a sterile, controlled area
✔️ Free from uncontrolled fuel loads
✔️ Managed by competent instructors
✔️ Supported by secondary fire controls and emergency cover

What it should never be:

❌ Conducted without clear exclusion zones
❌ Run without backup suppression in place
❌ Treated as a “tick box” or photo op
❌ Carried out next to any form of waste, pallets or skips.

For most workplaces, simulation-based extinguisher training is the safest, most appropriate and fully accepted standard – and that’s exactly what we provide.

Our approach is simple:
Realistic. Controlled. Legally defensible.

Whether you’re an office, warehouse, school, care provider, construction site or industrial operation, we tailor Fire Safety training to your risk profile – not a one-size-fits-all approach.

If you’re looking for Fire Safety training that puts people, professionalism and compliance first, we’d be happy to help.
