H.S.E. First Aid Course
and Qualification changes for the better
H.S.E. Changes to First Aid
Courses, beginning on the 1st October 2009, these will include replacing the 4
day HSE First Aid at
Work (FAW) course with a new 3 day H.S.E. Course. The 1 day Appointed Persons
qualification will be replaced with a new H.S.E. approved
qualification and 1 day Course called the 'Emergency First Aider in the
Workplace' (EFAW).
The H.S.E. will also strongly recommend that both the FAW and EFAW students
attend an annual three hour Annual refresher course to prevent
'skills fade'.
Both the 'First Aid at Work' and 'Emergency First Aid in the workplace' courses
will be approved by the HSE and must be taught by HSE
approved First Aid Training providers.
