What is a First Aid at Work Course?

The First Aid at Work (FAW) course is a comprehensive 3-day qualification that meets Health & Safety Executive (HSE) requirements. It is ideal for higher-risk workplaces such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and large office environments.

We deliver this training across Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, and Worksop or Barnsley, either at your workplace or at a suitable training venue.

• Roles and responsibilities of a first aider

• CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)

• Use of an AED (defibrillator)

Defibrillator (AED) Training

A key part of our course is learning how to use a defibrillator (AED).

Defibrillators are now widely available in workplaces and public spaces across South Yorkshire, and knowing how to use one correctly can significantly increase survival rates in cases of cardiac arrest.

During the course, delegates will:

• Understand when an AED is needed

• Learn how to safely operate a defibrillator

• Practice using training AED devices in realistic scenarios

  
  

Tourniquets & Catastrophic Bleeding Control

Modern first aid training goes beyond basic techniques.

At Emergency Response Training Ltd, we include tourniquet use and catastrophic bleeding control as part of our enhanced training approach.

This includes:

• Recognising life-threatening bleeding

• When and how to apply a tourniquet

• Use of trauma dressings

These skills are especially important in high-risk industries and can make a critical difference before emergency services arrive.
