Emergency First Aid At Work
EFAW (1 Day Course)
Course Overview
Under UK Health & Safety regulations, workplaces must provide adequate First Aid provision. This includes trained Emergency First Aiders and appropriate equipment such as AEDs. Prompt action in an emergency can prevent a minor incident from becoming a serious one.
Course Aim
This one-day course prepares individuals to take fast, effective action in emergencies. Learners will gain the confidence, skills, and knowledge to handle a wide range of workplace incidents, using HSE-compliant First Aid resources including AEDs.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will learn how to:
- Understand the responsibilities of an Emergency First Aider
- Conduct a primary assessment of a casualty
- Place an unconscious casualty in the recovery position
- Deliver effective rescue breaths
- Perform CPR according to Resuscitation Council UK standards
- Operate an AED safely and correctly
- Control bleeding and treat wounds
- Identify and manage medical shock
Who Should Attend?
Ideal for staff designated as Emergency First Aiders. Also suitable for anyone seeking a nationally recognised First Aid qualification or simply wanting to be prepared in an emergency.
Note: If your workplace risk assessment indicates full First Aiders are not required, this course meets the necessary training standards for nominated staff.
Duration
1 Day (6 hours of guided learning)
