The first aspect of my pre trade Carpentry course we covered was Health and Safety/First aid. I completed and passed a two day First Aid course run by City First Aid.
The course covered many areas of on-site related accidents and scenarios that I may encounter during my career, we were taught how to manage those situations.
Heath and safety covered general safety on the building site along with the safe use of powertools. I passed the necessary units for safety along with obtaining a paslode nail/framing gun license and site safe certificate.
