3️⃣ Cuts & Lacerations
Common in many industries, from offices to construction.
👉 Learn how to control bleeding quickly and effectively.

4️⃣ Burns & Scalds
Seen in kitchens, workshops and industrial settings.
👉 Immediate First Aid can reduce severity and aid recovery.

5️⃣ Medical Emergencies
Heart attacks, seizures, asthma attacks and more can happen anywhere.
👉 Confidence and quick action can save lives.

⛑️ First Aid at Work vs Emergency First Aid at Work ⛑️

If you’re responsible for workplace safety, you’ve probably come across First Aid at Work (FAW) and Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)….but what’s the difference?

Here’s a simple breakdown 👇

🩹 Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

A 1-day course ideal for lower-risk environments. Covers essential life-saving skills such as:

✔ CPR and use of a defibrillator
✔ Dealing with unconscious casualties
✔ Managing minor injuries

🏥 First Aid at Work (FAW)

A more in-depth 3-day (or blended) course for higher-risk workplaces. Includes everything in EFAW plus:

✔ Injuries and illnesses in greater detail
✔ Fractures, burns and major bleeding
✔ Ongoing casualty care

📌 So which one is right for you?
It depends on your workplace risk assessment, team size, and industry.

That’s where we can help 👇

At Lightning Training Solutions, we:

✔ Deliver both FAW and EFAW courses
✔ Offer blended learning options for flexibility
✔ Provide practical, hands-on training
✔ Support businesses in staying compliant with UK regulations
