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?
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 at work 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!
