First Aid Training

In any workplace, knowing how to respond to emergencies can save lives. Our First Aid Training course equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to provide immediate care in various situations, ensuring compliance with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.

This comprehensive course covers:

• Managing emergencies and assessing the scene
• Administering CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
• Treating injuries, burns, and wounds
• Managing medical conditions such as seizures or allergic reactions

Suitable for employees across all industries, this training ensures your workplace is prepared for emergencies. Participants will receive a certificate upon successful completion, demonstrating their competence in first aid.

The key difference between Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and First Aid at Work (FAW) lies in the level of training and the scope of first aid practices covered. Here’s a breakdown:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

• Duration: Typically 1 day.
• Focus: Covers basic life-saving techniques and the management of minor injuries.
• Content Includes:
• CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use.
• Dealing with unconsciousness (recovery position).
• Managing bleeding, burns, and choking.
• Basic shock treatment.
• Who it’s for: Suitable for low-risk workplaces like offices or shops, where the likelihood of more complex injuries is minimal.

First Aid at Work (FAW)

• Duration: Usually 3 days.
• Focus: Provides in-depth training for a broader range of medical situations and injuries.
• Content Includes:
• Everything in the EFAW course.
• Managing fractures, spinal injuries, and head injuries.
• Recognising and treating medical conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, and heart attacks.
• Conducting secondary surveys to assess less obvious injuries.
• Who it’s for: Ideal for higher-risk environments such as construction sites, factories, or workplaces with more complex hazards.

Legal Requirements
Both courses meet the requirements of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, but the choice between them depends on a workplace's specific risk assessment. Higher-risk workplaces may require a mix of EFAW and FAW-trained first aiders to ensure comprehensive coverage.
