Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work?
Choosing the right course is important.
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is a one-day course covering essential emergency first aid skills.
First Aid at Work (FAW) is a more comprehensive qualification covering EFAW content plus a wider range of injuries and illnesses.
HSE recommends that employers carry out a first-aid needs assessment to determine the appropriate level of training for their workplace.
Emergency First Aid at Work may be suitable when:
- Your first-aid needs assessment identifies EFAW as an appropriate level of training
- You need a one-day workplace first aid qualification
- Your workplace presents relatively straightforward first-aid requirements
- You need to train additional members of staff as workplace first aiders
First Aid at Work may be more appropriate when:
- Your workplace has greater or more complex risks
- Your first-aid needs assessment identifies a need for the broader FAW qualification
- Employees may be exposed to a wider range of injuries or illnesses
If you are unsure which qualification your business needs, speak to us before booking.
