February 2010 - First Aid Courses at Kensey Training are HSE registered and approved

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide suitable first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel to enable immediate assistance to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. Regulation 3(2) states that in order to provide first aid to injured or ill employees, '..a person shall not be suitable unless he has undergone -

1. such training and has such qualifications as the Health and Safety Executive may approve for the time being in respect of that case or class of case, and
   

2. such additional training, if any, as may be appropriate in the circumstances of that case'

If you have identified that first-aiders are needed in your workplace, they must have a valid certificate of competence in FAW or emergency first aid at work (EFAW). EFAW training enables a first-aider to give emergency first aid to someone who is injured or becomes ill while at work. FAW training includes EFAW and also equips the first-aider to apply first aid to a range of specific injuries and illnesses.

FAW courses involve at least 18 hours of training and are run over three days.
EFAW lasts for at least six hours of training and is usually run over one day. Kensey Training is approved by and registered with HSE to provide this training.

FAW and EFAW certificates last for three years. Before their certificates expire, first-aiders will need to undertake an FAW requalification course or an EFAW course, as appropriate, to obtain another three-year certificate.

HSE strongly recommends that first-aiders undertake annual refresher training, during any three-year FAW/EFAW certification period. Although not mandatory, this will help qualified first-aiders maintain their basic skills and keep up to date with any changes to first-aid procedures. We at Kensey Training provide refresher courses.
