Emergency First Aid at Work

EMERGENCY FIRST AID AT WORK (EFAW)

This online Emergency First Aid at Work training gives the knowledge needed to provide appropriate first ai  in the critical time before emergency services arrive.

Timely first aid leads to better outcomes for the patient.  So, in the UK regulations require employers to have appropriate arrangements so staff receive timely first aid if they require.  Regulations require staff are appropriately trained and many companies choose this online course.

EFAW courses are designed provide the participants with the ability give emergency first aid to someone who is injured or becomes ill while at work.  This online EFAW course covers the full syllabus recommended for EFAW training and is fully online.

Every business regardless of size need to consider their first aid arrangements.  This online course is used by many businesses in place of traditional classroom training to impart the knowledge elements of the EFAW syllabus.  For small low-risk workplaces this training maybe sufficient.  However for many workplaces is it best to see this course as annual refresher training or blend this course with practical skills training.

EFAW or FAW WHICH IS THE RIGHT?

First aid at work (FAW) includes all of the Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) content.  In addition FAW includes how to treat various minor injuries and illnesses that do not require the attendance of emergency services.  A first aid needs assessment is the first this to do.  This will provides a guide to whether, in your specific workplace FAW or EMAW is most appropriate.  Usually FAW is better in higher-risk workplaces where minor injuries like cuts and scrapes are more likely.
