EFAW and FAW Refresher

EFAW and FAW Annual Refresher Course

First Aid Kit

Although an annual refresher is not a legal requirement, the HSE strongly recommends that First Aiders undertake annual refresher training within any three-year certification period of First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work.

The FAW and EFAW refresher is a 1/2 day course.

Candidates should demonstrate their competence to:

• assess the situation in an emergency;
• administer first aid to a casualty who is unconscious (including seizure);
• administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation;
• administer first aid to a casualty who is wounded and bleeding;
• administer first aid to a casualty who is suffering from shock.
