There are now two Emergency First Aid courses, both of which could be suitable for "Appointed Persons"
The Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) is an HSE approved course with a defined government syllabus.
The Basic Emergency First Aid course follows a more general syllabus that usually meets the workplace needs for support (NON HSE) First Aiders. The syllabus is open to adaptation on request.
