Who is the First Aid at Work course for?
First Aid at Work is a more comprehensive workplace first aid qualification than Emergency First Aid at Work.
Whether your organisation requires FAW-trained first aiders should be determined through your first-aid needs assessment, taking account of the circumstances of your workplace.
Relevant considerations can include workplace hazards and risks, workforce size and distribution, working patterns, previous incidents, lone or remote working, access to emergency medical services and the needs of employees and others who may be present.
The important question is not simply whether a business is described as “high risk” or “low risk”, but what level of first-aid provision its actual circumstances require.
What will I learn on the FAW course?
The course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to respond to a range of workplace first aid situations, including life-threatening emergencies and common injuries and illnesses.
- Assessing an incident and managing priorities
- Responsibilities of a workplace first aider
- CPR and use of an AED
- Managing an unresponsive casualty
- Recovery position
- Choking
- Severe bleeding and shock
- Burns and scalds
- Fractures and soft-tissue injuries
- Heart attack and stroke
- Seizures and asthma
- Other injuries and medical emergencies within the qualification syllabus
