This is a recognised 2 day First Aid at Work Refresher (FAWR) course which is suitable for anyone who has already attended the HSE approved FAW course and requires retraining. The course is run in accordance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations (NI) 1982. Please ensure that your FAW certificate is still in date and you will need to present this to the provider on the 1st day of the course.
If the assessment of First Aid needs highlights the need for qualified First Aiders, then this course will provide suitable trained personnel. This course covers a wide variety of medical topics enabling the participants to deal with emergency situations with confidence in a safe, prompt and effective way.
The syllabus of the course is:-
- First Aid Priorities
- Managing Incidents
- Basic Life Support
- Examination of a Casualty
- Unconsciousness
- Safe use of an AED
- Control of Bleeding and Wounds
- Fractures & Dislocations
- Burns and Scalds
- Medical Emergencies
- Heart Attacks & Cardiac Arrest
- Eye Injuries
- Dressings & Bandaging
- Recording and Reporting
- First Aid Provision
There is practical and theory based assessments and continuous evaluation throughout by the tutor. All those deemed to have reached the required standard will be issued with a recognised certificate in First Aid at Work which is valid for 3 years.
There is a need for this to be renewed by attending a 2 day refresher course before the 3 years have expired. Any delegate attending refresher training must have an in-date FAW Certificate to attend this course. If this has expired they will have to attend the initial FAW 3 day course.
The HSE (NI) has strongly recommended that those attending this course attend annual refresher training lasting 2-3 hours. This is not compulsory BUT IS RECOMMENDED by the HSENI. The initial First Aid at Work is over 3 days and re-qualification is over 2 days.
A maximum of 12 can be accommodated on this course and must be aged 16 and above
