This Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is a 6-hour accredited session designed for those working in low-risk environments such as offices, gyms, retail spaces, and schools. It meets the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations of 1981, ensuring your workplace remains compliant while providing valuable life-saving knowledge. Participants complete a mix of practical exercises and classroom learning to build confidence and skill in handling real emergencies.
The Emergency First Aid at Work course combines essential first aid knowledge with realistic, hands-on learning. The morning covers the core principles of first aid, including scene safety, casualty assessment, and the responsibilities of a first aider. You’ll learn how to handle unconscious casualties, perform CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED). Each skill is taught through demonstration and practice, with plenty of time for questions and instructor feedback.
After lunch, the focus moves to practical response in specific situations such as choking, bleeding, burns, and shock. You’ll also learn about recording workplace incidents and the legal obligations of a first aider. The course finishes with a short multiple-choice test to confirm your understanding. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a certificate valid for three years, confirming your competence as an emergency first aider.
