🎄 First Aid Tip Advent Calendar – Day 24! 🎄
All through December we have shared a simple, bite-sized first aid tip each day to help keep you confident, calm and prepared when it matters most.

Check back, learn something new, and build your first aid skills one door at a time!

Check Your First Aid Kit

A well-stocked first aid kit can turn panic into purpose. Take time this month to check dates, replace used items and make sure everything is ready. Prepared people save lives.

It’s Sod’s Law that when you a piece of first aid kit it’s not there…Produce a checklist & rota, plus delegate a trusted team member to take ownership of all first aid kits and their contents!

An HSE (Health and Safety Executive) first aid kit should contain essential items for immediate care, based on a workplace risk assessment, with specific quantities varying by workplace size and risk level, but always ensuring sterility and regular expiry checks.

Example- Tree surgeons may carry higher level trauma kit whereas an accountancy firm with 6 employees in an office wouldn’t need such kit to hand.

When purchasing kits, Look for the British standard 8599 for comprehensive content, though not legally required if your assessment covers needs.

Essential Contents (Minimum)
* Guidance Leaflet: General first aid advice.
* Plasters: Individually wrapped, assorted sizes, washproof.
* Eye Pads & Eye wash pods: Sterile, with bandages.
* Triangular Bandages: Individually wrapped, sterile.
* Safety Pins: To secure bandages.
* Wound Dressings: Medium & large, sterile, individually wrapped, unmedicated.
* Disposable Gloves: To protect the first aider.
* First aid scissors
* Hazardous waste bags

We cover first aid kit contents with no nonsense conversations and practical demonstrations, so if we can help your teams by getting them first aid ready or you have any questions about training to remain compliant simply drop us a message here:

Happy Christmas from all of at BH training solutions, have a safe and very merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you all in 2026!

First Aid Tip Advent Calendar – Day 23! 🎄
All through December we’ll be sharing a simple, bite-sized first aid tip each day to help keep you confident, calm and prepared when it matters most.

Check back daily, learn something new, and build your first aid skills one door at a time!

Hypothermia

Hypothermia happens when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, often due to prolonged exposure to cold weather or immersion in cold water. When body temperature gets too low (below 35 degrees), the heart, nervous system, and other organs cannot function properly and, if left untreated, it can lead to death.

Common symptoms include:
* Uncontrolled shivering (which may stop in severe cases).
* Confusion or memory loss and impaired judgment.
* Slurred speech or mumbling.
* Slow, shallow breathing.
* Pale, cold, and dry skin.
* Clumsiness or lack of coordination.
* Drowsiness or very low energy.
Hypothermia is a medical emergency, and anyone showing symptoms needs immediate medical attention. You should call emergency services right away if you suspect someone has it.

How to Help While Waiting for Medics ⛑️

✔ Move the person somewhere warm & sheltered and warm gradually
✔ Remove any wet clothing and dry the skin
✔ Wrap them in layers / blankets (including head & neck)
✔ Offer warm sweet drinks if they’re fully awake
✖ Never apply direct heat (hot water bottles, heaters)
✖ Never give alcohol
✖ Never massage cold limbs

A foil blanket be of use in such cases, however don’t forget to insulate under the casualty and try to cover the top of their head!

We cover hypothermia on our BH first aid sessions -along with a host of other conditions so if we can help your organisation by getting your teams first aid ready drop us a message here:

Feeling incredibly proud to have passed 300+ Google reviews ⭐

Especially so because BH training solutions is still a one-man, veteran-owned business. I currently deliver training just one week each month, and everything else — accountant, admin, marketing, sales, kit prep, customer service and delivery — is done by me and on occasion one or two of my most trusted veteran instructors lend a hand on the delivery side.

Every review genuinely means soooo much to me and I’m genuinely chuffed to have reached this milestone. They represent trust, word of mouth, and people choosing a small independent provider built on the values of Royal Marine standard service, professionalism and doing things properly and face to face.

Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to leave feedback and support the journey so far. It really is appreciated.

For any first aid, workplace safety training or fire marshal evacuation plans across the Midlands simply drop me an email here:

🎄 First Aid Tip Advent Calendar – Day 22! 🎄
All through December we’ll be sharing a simple, bite-sized first aid tip each day to help keep you confident, calm and prepared when it matters most.

Check back daily, learn something new, and build your first aid skills one door at a time!

Shock

Shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body is not getting enough blood flow. Lack of blood flow means the cells and organs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients to function properly. Many organs can be damaged as a result.

Lay the person down, elevate their legs if possible, and keep them warm.
If using a foil blanket always consider insulating underneath the casualty and don’t forget we lose a lot of heat from our heads!
Shock can be subtle but serious — comfort and reassurance go a long way.
Always call 999 if you’re not sure!

We always cover shock through our
Scenario based hands on first aid sessions whether at your workplace, school, club or with us on one of our public accessible courses held monthly in Tamworth!

Find out more here: Our next one is Jan 12th!!! ⛑️

Eye Injuries

If something gets into the eye, flush with clean water. Don’t rub — it only makes things worse. Seek help if discomfort continues.

If any chemicals are in the eye consider wearing gloves and also where the contaminated stuff will run off as we need to avoid the contaminant going into the mouth, best thing to do is stand behind the person who is seated, tilt their head to the injured eye side and while holding the eye open pour the clean water from the nose across the one eye.

Never pull anything embedded out and always seek medical attention if ever unsure.

We cover eye injuries and much more on all of our hands on workplace first aid courses, take a look how we can help here:
