Which Course? First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work?

Choosing between the First Aid at Work (FAW) and Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) courses depends on your workplace’s specific needs and risk factors.

Here’s a comparison to help you decide:

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW):

• Duration: Typically a one-day course.
• Scope: Focuses on essential life-saving techniques and managing minor injuries.
• Suitable For: Low-risk environments, such as offices or retail settings.

First Aid at Work (FAW):

• Duration: Usually a three-day course.
• Scope: Covers all EFAW topics plus additional training on specific injuries and illnesses, including fractures, burns, and medical conditions.
• Suitable For: Higher-risk workplaces like construction sites or manufacturing plants.

To determine the appropriate course, conduct a thorough first aid needs assessment considering factors like workplace hazards, number of employees, and past incident records. This assessment will guide you in selecting the training that ensures adequate and effective first aid provision for your specific environment.
