First Aid for All
The Emergency First Response First Aid at Work (Great Britain) course is a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) approved first aid course for training in first aid for the purpose of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Not just for divers this programme meets the statutory needs of employers in England, Scotland and Wales needing at least one First Aider on the premises.
What is Emergency First Response?
Emergency First Response is an innovative CPR/first aid program. Primary Care (CPR) prepares you to render aid to those with life-threatening emergencies. Secondary Care (first aid) builds upon the lessons of Primary Care and helps you assist those in need when Emergency Medical Services are either delayed or unavailable. It is a requirement for students in the PADI Rescue and Divemaster courses to have current first aid certification and the EFR course can be tailor-made for that purpose but non divers will also benefit from this comprhensive first aid course.
