Emergency First Aid at Work

The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course is designed for individuals in the UK construction industry who need to act as a first point of response during workplace emergencies. This course provides essential life-saving knowledge and skills required under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, ensuring that workplaces have competent personnel capable of managing emergency situations effectively. 
 Covering key topics such as the roles and responsibilities of an emergency first aider, assessing an incident scene, managing an unresponsive casualty, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), choking, wound management and bleeding control, treatment for shock, and dealing with minor injuries, the course prepares participants to take immediate and appropriate action when it matters most. Learners will gain the confidence to assess situations, prioritise casualties, and provide critical first aid before professional medical help arrives. The course includes interactive modules and practical assessments, making it ideal for construction workers, site operatives, tradespeople, and supervisors who require a recognised first aid qualification as a foundation before progressing to the full First Aid at Work (FAW) certification.
