First Aid at Work (FAW)
Build the skills. Gain the confidence. Be ready to respond. Our First Aid at Work course provides learners with the practical skills, knowledge and confidence needed to respond to a wide range of workplace injuries and medical emergencies.
This comprehensive three-day course is designed for employees who will act as designated workplace first aiders. Through practical activities and realistic scenarios, learners develop the ability to assess incidents, provide appropriate treatment and support a casualty until professional medical help arrives.
Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for employers and managers who need trained first aiders as part of their workplace first-aid arrangements.
It is particularly appropriate for higher-risk workplaces, larger organisations or businesses where a first-aid needs assessment identifies the need for a fully qualified First Aider at Work.
