Course Overview
Between 2017-2018, there were 555,000 non-fatal injuries in workplaces and 144 fatal injuries.
The British Red Cross determined that only 5% of adults have the skills and confidence to provide first aid in emergency situations. This displays how crucial Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) can be. It also shows just how important it is to equip staff with the necessary skills to respond to accidents and emergencies in the workplace.
