Every workplace must have someone ready to respond in an emergency. This first aid at work training course is designed for appointed persons and those supporting a qualified First Aid at Work (FAW) practitioner. It also fulfils the requirements for the FAW annual refresher, ensuring staff remain confident and compliant.

Learners will explore how to respond to unconscious casualties, manage seizures, and act when someone is not breathing normally. In addition, the course covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), severe bleeding, shock, choking, and heart attack response. By applying these skills, participants will be able to provide immediate and effective care until professional help arrives.

By the end of this first aid at work training, learners will have the confidence to act quickly, reduce harm, and potentially save lives.
