Each A2-sized poster focuses on a particular technique.
There are five in the series, covering bleeding, burns, choking, resuscitation and how to deal with an unconscious person using the recovery position.
Annette Holmes, head of commercial training at the British Red Cross, says: "They could be put up next to your first aid kit to act as a quick reference in case of emergency, and they are also a useful reminder to first aid trained staff of how to deal with particular situations".
The posters cost £8.99 each or £35.99 for the whole set.
They can be ordered by telephone or online.
