Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

The aim of this course is to train candidates to manage an accident scene in the workplace, effectively communicate and delegate until the emergency services arrive. The course will teach the skills needed to deal with a casualty who is unconscious, not breathing, injured (as a result of an accident at work) and/or suffering from a medical condition. The course also includes what to do after an accident or incident at work, reporting procedures, disposal of clinical waste and ensuring that your training and equipment complies with the standards set by the HSE. The Standards are monitored by Ofqal or the SQA in Scotland.
