Emergency First Aid at Work

Designed by Freepix

First aid is the crucial, initial care provided for illness or injury until actual medical treatment can be given, if it is necessary. For that reason, it is essential that as many people as possible have basic first aid training. In the workplace, there is a legal requirement for employers to provide equipment, facilities, and qualified personnel to ensure employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or become ill at work. 

Our one day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course provides a basic understanding of how to administer emergency first aid, including treating minor injuries and life threatening conditions, enabling candidates to be able to make a real difference to your workplace and the safety of your colleagues.
