Accidents happen, even when an environment is classed as low hazard. Our one day 'Emergency' first aid at work course is for first aiders, current and new, in workplaces risk-assessed as 'low hazard'.
The EFAW certificate that delegates earn on this course is valid for three years and only takes one day to learn. Here's what's covered:
Not all workplaces involve working at height, with heavy machinery and chemicals or wild animals. But just because there are few hazards where you work (and the risk of those hazards harming you is low), that doesn't mean you're immune to accidents.

If you're concerned that this course, which covers the Emergency-only risks, will not satisfy your first aid needs, do consider switching up to the full 3-day Primary First Aid at Work course.
