A practical one-day course for nominated emergency first aiders, covering incident assessment, CPR, AED use, choking, bleeding, shock and minor injuries.
Our Emergency First Aid at Work Course gives nominated first aiders the essential skills and confidence to respond to workplace emergencies.
Learners practise assessing an incident, managing an unconscious casualty, performing CPR, using an AED and responding to choking, bleeding, shock and minor injuries. The course also explains the responsibilities of an emergency first aider and the importance of safe, prompt action.
It is commonly selected by smaller or lower-risk workplaces following a first aid needs assessment. Our experienced trainers keep the day active, practical and easy to understand so learners leave feeling prepared rather than simply certificated.
Choosing the right first aid course: Employers should use a first-aid needs assessment to decide whether First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work is the most appropriate level of training and how many trained first aiders are required.
Suitable for nominated emergency first aiders in smaller or lower-risk workplaces such as offices, shops, libraries and community organisations, and for anyone seeking practical emergency first aid skills.
The Emergency First Aid at Work Course covers the syllabus required under The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, which can be found on the HSE website.

The Emergency First Aid at Work Course is aimed at those over 16 who are able to undertake the responsibilities associated with being a workplace emergency first aider. Learners between 14-16 years can undertake the course, however they should not be relied upon by employers to be a sole first aider. It is recommended that candidates have a minimum of Level 2 literacy and numeracy or equivalent. Learners are required to demonstrate first aid procedures as they would in a real work environment. This includes providing CPR to a casualty who is on the floor, therefore learners must be physically capable of doing this.

Answers to some of the most common questions about this service.
Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is generally suited to lower-risk workplaces and provides learners with the essential skills needed to deal with common workplace first aid emergencies, including an unresponsive casualty, CPR and minor injuries.
First Aid at Work (FAW) is more comprehensive and is generally more appropriate for larger organisations and higher-risk sectors such as construction, engineering, manufacturing, transport and logistics.
The important thing is not simply to choose between a one-day and three-day course. Your First Aid Needs Assessment should determine the level of first aid provision and training appropriate for your workplace.
