1.1 million workers in Britain had an accident at work in 2014/2015

Of those, 2,700 were from the East Midlands

On average, one out of every 370 people received an injury at work

The estimated cost of injuries and ill health last year was £15 billion

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require 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 - training course is the one recommended for first aiders in a low risk workplace

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!

As this is 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
