Known as the ‘+F’, this bolt-on course can be added to Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work qualifications. It can also be run as a stand-alone up skill course for delegates that hold existing, valid Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work qualifications to upgrade them to a +F qualification.
The Forestry Commission requires that contractors, hauliers and others wishing to work on Forestry Commission land need to show that they comply with their first aid policies, by holding the appropriate certificate, with evidence of the +F up skill. You can see a copy of their policies here –

Emergency First Aid At Work
Employers have to risk assess their workplace first aid requirements and the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) qualification is one of the statutory qualifications for this purpose.
If the risk assessment indicates that employees may be faced with life-threatening incidents where they have to manage the casualty for up to 10 minutes, or deal with very minor incidents that will not require medical assistance, then the EFAW is the course that meets this need.
Topics include:
- roles & responsibilities
- assessing incidents
- dealing with collapse (with and without breathing)
- choking, bleeding, shock, seizures, minor workplace incidents, using first aid kit.
This qualification is designed to provide essential life saving skills. Typical delivery methods are predominantly practical and the course is assessed by continual observation of candidate performance.

Workplace First Aid Courses
Making sure your workplace is compliant with HSE Regulations
The formal bit that you need to know is that the ‘Health and Safety ‘First Aid at Work’ Regulations (INDG214)’ require employers to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. Every employer should carry out an assessment of first aid needs, which should be reviewed at least annually and all staff must be informed of the arrangements.
WHICH BEST DESCRIBES YOUR WORKPLACE?
High Hazard workplaces e.g. light engineering and assembly work, food processing, warehousing, extensive work with dangerous machinery, sharp instruments, construction, chemical manufacture or dangerous animals.
Lower Hazard workplaces include offices, small shops, libraries, and businesses without any particular dangers like machinery or lots of manual handling.
