⛑️ 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
