What is the difference between our 1 day
Emergency First Aid at Work Course and our 3 day Course?

1 DAY: The 1 day Emergency First Aid at Work course (EFAW), covers the key life saving skills to deal with the emergency injuries and illnesses that can occur in the workplace.  It covers CPR, AED use, choking, recovery position and cuts and wound management.

3 DAY: An upskill from the 1 day EFAW course which covers all the EFAW elements but with additional 2 days to explore other conditions more in-depth, such as head injuries, diabetes, anaphylaxis and heart conditions.  This course will give the skills to deal with most eventualities.

Is your workplace prepared?

Did you know that an estimated 600,000 workers in Britain sustain an injury at work each year?

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing appropriate first aid training. However, having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff!

Upon successful completion of this qualification, candidates will be equipped with the essential skills needed to give safe, prompt and effective first aid in emergency situations.

What’s more, as a regulated qualification, employers can book this course for their employees and rest assured that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks introduced in the recent HSE changes.
