QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) - EFAW

Did you know that an estimated 1.1 million workers in Britain had an accident at work in 2014/2015? Of those, 2,700 occurred in the East Midlands, where on average one out of every 370 workers received an injury at work.

Are you ready to perform First Aid?

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981require all employers to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.

This includes carrying out a risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first aiders and providing adequate first aid training.

Typically, first aiders will hold a valid certificate in either First Aid at Work (FAW) or Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW).

Our QA Level 3 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work (RQF) – EFAW – course is the one recommended for first aiders in a low risk workplace, enabling first aiders to give emergency first aid.

Having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly important for the safety of all members of staff!

What’s more, as a Regulated Qualification, employers can book this course for their employees in the safe knowledge that they have fulfilled their legal responsibilities for providing quality first aid training, without having to undertake any lengthy due diligence checks.
