Duration – 1 days (6 hours)
Where an organisation’s risk assessment of First Aid needs identifies that there is a requirement for Emergency First Aid at Work practitioners, then this national Award satisfies the requirements of the regulatory body for First Aid – the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Aims
At the end of the course delegates will have the skills and knowledge to provide your organisation with Emergency First Aider’s that can provide treatment to casualties in a prompt, safe and effective manner.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course delegates will have covered a wide range of subjects including:
- Responsibilities, first aid provision and reporting
- Assessment of the situation
- Dealing with an unresponsive casualty
- Basic hygiene in First Aid
- Choking
- Shock (including Anaphylaxis)

Assessment and Certification
Assessment is ongoing by the instructor, along with multiple choice question paper at the end of the day. On successful completion of the course, delegates will be issued an Emergency First Aid certificate which is valid for three years.
