First Aid Refresher

This is aimed at existing first aiders and is not intended for those needing to train in first aid for the first time.

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. However, the final assessment must still be conducted at floor level. If you have any queries do contact us for advice.
