From 01 October a new Health & Safety Executive (HSE) regulated course named Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) will be introduced. While not replacing the Appointed First Person, much of the course content will be the same.
The Training Centre is an HSE accredited centre and therefore will be running this new regulated course for individuals and groups from companies and organisations in Cornwall and across the UK.
