What Is First Aid at Work (FAW)?
First Aid at Work is the highest standard workplace first aid qualification for non-clinical staff. It prepares designated first aiders to manage a broad range of incidents including cardiac events, trauma, medical emergencies, and serious workplace injuries until professional help arrives.
FAW is typically required for:
- higher-risk workplaces
- industrial settings
- construction environments
- warehousing and logistics
- larger staff teams
- sites with elevated hazard exposure
Where risk is lower, Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) may be sufficient — but risk assessment should guide the decision.
Not sure whether you need FAW or EFAW? We’ll advise before booking.
