In order to meet existing local workplace requirements in Australia and New Zealand, the Emergency First Response First Aid at Work (Asia Pacific) programme is based on the consensus view of Basic Life Support (BLS) Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) as well as the guidelines published by the Australian and New Zealand Resuscitation Councils. It is designed primarily for teaching workplace first aid in Australia and New Zealand. Only a current, Teaching status EFR First Aid at Work Instructor or Instructor Trainer (trained in the Asia Pacific edition) is authorised to teach this course.

 

First Aid at Work Asia Pacific

 

Emergency First Response First Aid at Work (Asia Pacific) is a CPR and first aid course specifically written to meet workplace requirements in Australia where occupational health and safety regulations stipulate that businesses must have first aid trained personnel on staff.

PADI’s Registered Training Organisation (RTO) mapped the First Aid at Work course to meet both workplace requirements and the following Nationally Recognised Training units of competence from the Australian vocational Health and Outdoor Recreation Training Packages:

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to provide first aid response, life support, management of casualty(s), the incident and other first aiders, until the arrival of medical or other assistance. This course was previously known as Senior First Aid, Workplace Level 2 or Level 2 qualification.
