HSE Approved Emergency First Aid at Work
“Superb course. The best I have attended. I feel much more confident about using the first aid procedures covered and I am sure I will retain all the information – excellent.”
Course Aims
To provide delegates with the training, skills and knowledge in emergency first aid and comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Suitable For
Any person nominated by their employer as an Appointed Person in the workplace.
Course length
1 day
Pre-requisite
Temporary physical impairment - In situations where employers inform
training providers that an employee attending an FAW / EFAW course has a
temporary physical impairment, it may be sensible to advise them to defer
training until the individual is fit. If this is not possible and the student
has a temporary physical impairment, affecting for example mobility, a training
provider can temporarily accommodate this during training. For example, a knee
injury may prevent CPR training as the person is unable to kneel on the floor,
so the training could be delivered at waist height. If you have any queries do contact us for advice.
Certification
All delegates will be awarded a Norvic certificate of attendance which is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive and valid for three years.
Course Venue
Open courses are held regularly at our training venues in East Anglia. Alternatively, courses can be arranged at your own site anywhere in the UK (subject to suitability).
