First Aid at Work (FAW) Training (3-Day Classroom Programme)

Course overview

First Aid at Work (FAW) training is designed for workplace first aiders who need broader practical competence than an emergency first-aid course alone.

What the training covers

• incident assessment and casualty management
• CPR and AED use
• unconscious casualties, choking, seizures and shock
• bleeding, burns, fractures and other workplace injuries
• recognising and responding to common medical emergencies

Workplace first-aid context

HSE guidance requires employers to determine suitable first-aid provision through a first-aid needs assessment. The course selected should match the risks and circumstances of the workplace.
