Essential Emergency First Aid At Work Courses

In today's fast-paced work environments, the importance of having skilled first aiders cannot be overstated. Emergencies can arise without warning, and the initial response before professional help arrives can mean the difference between life and death. 

Fundamentally First Aid stands at the forefront of first aid training, offering comprehensive Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) courses tailored for businesses and individuals. These courses are significant, and we believe that choosing Fundamentally First Aid for your training needs is a decision that could save lives.

Why Emergency First Aid at Work is Crucial

Emergency First Aid at Work courses are designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to respond effectively to workplace emergencies. From minor injuries to life-threatening conditions, these courses cover a range of situations that could occur in any work setting. 

For businesses, ensuring that employees are trained in emergency first aid is not just a matter of compliance with health and safety regulations; it's a proactive step towards creating a safer work environment for everyone.

What Our EFAW Course Covers

Our EFAW course is a one-day programme meticulously designed to meet the requirements set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). It's suitable for employees designated as emergency first aiders in their workplace or anyone looking to gain fundamental first aid skills. The course includes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills training, covering key areas such as:

- Understanding the role of the first aider: Including the importance of preventing cross infection, the need for recording incidents and actions, and the use of available equipment.

- Assessing the situation and acting safely, promptly, and effectively in an emergency: Learners are trained to assess an emergency situation and make appropriate decisions about the first actions to take.

- CPR and AED usage: Participants are taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques for adults, as well as how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED), which can be crucial in the event of a cardiac arrest.

- Treatment of an unconscious casualty: Including how to place someone in the recovery position and deal with seizures.

- Dealing with bleeding, burns, and choking: Essential techniques to manage common workplace injuries effectively.

- Addressing shock and minor injuries: Learners are equipped with the skills to manage shock and provide immediate care for minor injuries until the emergency services arrive.
