Which workplaces need the FAW course?
High risk workplaces: construction sites, factories, workshops, warehouses, farms and commercial kitchens.
These are the settings where machinery, height, vehicles and heavy loads make serious injury a real possibility, and your needs assessment will usually call for first aiders trained to this level.
Larger workplaces of any risk level often need FAW trained first aiders too, simply because of the numbers involved.
This course is for:
- First aiders on high risk sites such as construction, manufacturing and engineering
- People appointed as the workplace first aider where the risk assessment calls for full training
- Anyone wanting a thorough working knowledge of first aid for professional or personal reasons
If your workplace is low risk an office, shop or small team, the one day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course usually covers your duty.
What does the FAW course cover?
Three days of mostly practical training, building from the primary survey up to the injuries and illnesses a first aider meets on a high risk site. Clinical content follows Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines 2025, so the CPR and defibrillator technique is current.
