Overview

The emergency first aid at work (EFAW) course is designed to provide first aiders with the knowledge and skills they need to respond effectively to emergency situations in the workplace.
Course Content
This course ensures delegates are able to understand, and where relevant, apply the following skills when helping an adult in the workplace.

Delegates will develop the skills and confidence to help someone who is:
•Unresponsive and not breathing, including how to use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)
•Unresponsive and breathing
•Having a seizure
•Choking
•Bleeding
•Suffering from shock and internal bleeding
•Suffering from a burn

The course also includes information on:
•Assessing a casualty
•Monitoring a casualty
•Where to get help
•Electrical incidents
•Accident recording and reporting
•The control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH)
Upon successfully completing the course, delegates will be awarded an RQF certificate, which will be valid for three years.
Delegates are continuously evaluated during the course through a variety of hands-on demonstrations, interactive question and answer sessions, quizzes, and engaging activities like roleplay. These activities are designed to guide and assist delegates in gaining the necessary skills and ensure they can apply their knowledge safely within their workplace.
The emergency first aid at work course was formerly classified as level 2, but is now a widely recognised as being equivalent to a level 3 qualification. This is because the length and complexity of the skills covered meet the requirements for a level qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF).
