SECTION 1

In a first aid situation, your priority is to quickly and calmly assess what’s happened and who needs help. In this section we will cover the primary survey, this is made up of 5 steps, which you can remember using DR ABC, which stands for danger, response, airway, breathing and circulation - we’ll be covering these in this section.

SECTION 2

Once you have completed your primary survey and dealt with any urgent conditions, you should now assess what is wrong with the casualty. This will include, looking for a medic alert bracelet or medication in their pockets that might tell you about an existing medical condition, as well as asking questions and checking for injuries.

In this final section, you will refresh your memory on essential procedures or treatments that you may need to perform to someone at work. You will look at: first aid kits at work, applying roller bandage and slings, choking, shock, cuts/grazes, bruises, nose bleeds, burns/scalds and splinters or other puncture wounds. 

About this course

Between 2017-2018, there were 555,000 non-fatal injuries in workplaces and 144 fatal injuries.

The British Red Cross found that only 5% of adults have the skills and confidence to provide first aid in emergency situations. This shows how essential Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) can be and just how important it is to equip staff with the correct skills to respond to accidents and emergencies in the workplace.  

Our CPD Accredited Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) Refresher Training is the perfect course for all emergency first aiders across all industries. Your staff will refresh their understanding of:

  • the role of an emergency first aider and the need for recording incidents and preventing cross-infection
  • how to assess a situation and circumstances to act safely and effectively in an emergency
  • how to administer first aid to those who are; unconscious, choking, burned, wounded and bleeding or someone suffering from shock
  • how to administer CPR and how to use an AED
  • how to provide first aid for minor injuries (cuts, grazes, bruises, minor burns, etc.)

Please note that this online training course does not give you the full practical training of first aid or emergency first aid. It provides general awareness but should not be used as a replacement for practical training. 

Our other online first aid courses include First Aid at Work Refresher Training, First Aid Requirements & RIDDOR and First Aid Appointed Person Training.
