​

Licensed premises operate in fast-paced, high-risk environments where accidents and medical emergencies can occur without warning. Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) training equips staff with the essential skills and confidence to respond quickly, safely and effectively when it matters most.

​

Licensing Professionals deliver Emergency First Aid at Work training tailored specifically to pubs, bars, clubs and licensed venues, supporting public safety, staff welfare and legal compliance.

​

 

​

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must provide adequate and appropriate first aid arrangements.

• Alcohol consumption

• Crowded environments
