ITC Certificate in Emergency First Aid at Work Course at SCQF Level 6

Emergency First Aid at Work Training

Employers have to risk assess their workplace first aid requirements, and the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is one of the statutory qualifications for this purpose.

Suppose the risk assessment indicates that employees may face life-threatening incidents. Where they have to manage the casualty for up to 10 minutes or deal with very minor incidents that will not require medical assistance. In that case, the EFAW is the first aid course that meets this need.

Delivery

Topics include; roles & responsibilities, dealing with collapse (with and without breathing), choking, bleeding, shock, seizures, minor workplace incidents, and using a first aid kit.

This first aid training course qualification is designed to provide essential life-saving skills. Moreover, typical delivery methods are predominantly practical. The course is assessed by continual observation of candidate performance and a brief Multiple Choice Questionnaire.
