2-day First Aid at Work (re-qualification) (FAW+)

“FAW training includes EFAW and also equips the first-aider to apply first aid to a range of specific injuries and illness”. (HSE guidance)

This new HSE approved qualification came into effect on 1 October 2009, along with new guidance on assessing the needs of First Aid in your workplace.

Depending on your workplace risk assessment, you may need individuals who are qualified as First Aiders at Work.  How many you will need depends on how many people are employed at your premises (see Table 2 below).  Once they have completed the 3-day FAW courses, they will need to return before expiry of their certificate to re-qualify for a further 3 years.

The aim of this comprehensive course is to refresh the first-aider’s medical skills, and to update with any new first aid protocols.  This comprehensive 2-day course covers a wide range of First Aid emergencies, enabling participants to deal with an emergency situation with confidence in a prompt, safe and effective way.

CERTIFICATION

Subject to successful completion of the course, and following assessment by a first aid assessor, participants are issued with a First Aid at Work certificate approved by the Health & Safety Executive.  This qualification is valid for a further three.  The HSE strongly recommends that all First Aiders attend an annual refresher programme that includes a minimum of three hours of first aid instruction.

NUMBERS

It is recommended that group numbers do not exceed the ratio of 12 delegates to 1 instructor.  Larger groups will require more instructors.

ASSESSMENT

Delegates are assessed, by an independent Assessor, on their ability to act safely, promptly and effectively for a casualty who is unresponsive, who requires CPR, and who is wounded and bleeding.
