Emergency First Aid at Work: Why Practical, Face-to-Face Training Saves Lives

When an emergency strikes, the first few minutes are critical — and having a trained first aider on-site can mean the difference between life and death.

At Shield Health & Safety, we’re committed to equipping individuals and workplaces with the skills and confidence to respond effectively in emergencies.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join our open Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) course this summer. ✅ Upcoming Course Dates: ? Location: Wymondham ? Dates: 25th June & 17th September 2025 ? Duration: 1-day practical course ? Certification: Valid for 3 years (accredited)

Why Is Emergency First Aid Training So Important? Emergencies in the workplace can happen at any time — choking, bleeding, heart attacks, or someone becoming unconscious.

Employers have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure someone is trained and confident enough to step in until help arrives. Benefits of being trained: Recognise and respond quickly to life-threatening situations Support injured or ill colleagues before emergency services arrive Increase workplace safety and morale Meet HSE (Health and Safety Executive) legal requirements Gain confidence to act when it matters most Why Face-to-Face First Aid Training Is Still Best While online learning has its place, first aid is a hands-on skill — one best learned through real-life scenarios, demonstrations, and physical practice.

In-person training offers:

• Immediate instructor feedback
• Realistic CPR and bandaging practice
• Confidence-building peer interaction
• Custom scenarios tailored to your industry
• Opportunities to ask questions and clarify procedures

At Shield Health & Safety, our courses are led by experienced instructors who bring with real-world examples and practical application.

Train Your Whole Team — We Come to You!

In addition to our open courses, we offer on-site Emergency First Aid at Work training at your location, ideal for businesses who want to train groups of 6 or more. You’ll receive the same high-quality certification and expert tuition, without needing to send staff off-site.

Book Your Spot or Request On-Site Training

Whether you’re an individual looking to upskill, or a business safeguarding your staff, our Emergency First Aid at Work training is a vital investment.
