What is Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Training?
Emergency First Aid At Work (EFAW) is a one-day, six-hour training course to help first raiders at work learn the skills needed to respond effectively to emergencies in the workplace.
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Training
Our Emergency First Aid at Work course is designed to meet the requirements set by the Health and Safety Executive for first aid in the workplace. It is suitable for individuals who need their initial EFAW certificate or those who need to refresh their qualification.
This course is widely recognized as a level 2 first aid qualification. The training provided covers a range of essential first aid skills that are specifically tailored for low-hazard workplaces such as offices, shops, and call centers.
By acquiring these skills, first aiders will be able to respond quickly and confidently to injuries and illnesses, while also being able to identify when professional medical assistance is necessary.
In the event that your needs assessment reveals a need for additional first aid training, such as having employees with medical conditions, we highly recommend our 3-day First Aid at Work course.
This comprehensive course will equip participants with the skills to recognize and treat a wider range of injuries and medical conditions.
