HABC are pleased to offer the HABC Level 2 Award in Emergency First Aid at Work as an accredited qualification. The course will familiarise students with the roles and responsibilities of the Emergency First Aider, including assessing an incident, recognising signs and symptoms of injury and illness, and assisting a casualty who is suffering from injury and illness. Students will learn and be assessed on their practical ability to deal with casualties who have stopped breathing, are unconscious, are bleeding and suffering from shock.

The minimum contact time for the course is 6 hours. This can be split over a maximum of 4 weeks, with sessions lasting no less than 2 hours. Candidates are assessed by ongoing practical assessment by the Tutor throughout the course. All successful students will be issued with an Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate which lasts for a period of 3 years, along with a wallet-sized plastic card detailing their qualifications.

Centres who deliver EFAW must abide by the HSE Minimum Training Standard for the purposes of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, and the Training Standard for the purposes of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) (NI) Regulations 1982. The document has been produced by the HSE and sets out a training standard that Awarding Bodies and HSE Centres alike must adhere to.
