Emergency First Aid at Work

 (EFAW)

PS Pro offers this EFAW training course which enables a first-aider to give emergency first aid to someone who is injured or becomes ill while at work. If you have identified that first-aiders are needed in your workplace, they must have a valid certificate of competence in EFAW and we can provide you with that. This EFAW course meets the requirements of the Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations of 1981.

This essential course is ideal if you are, or want to be, a nominated workplace first aider, or if you would like a comprehensive introduction to first aid. This is an incredibly valuable course and within the practical teaching we can include practice scenarios based on your own work 
place environment.
