Why the PHECC FAR Course Is Crucial for Every Workplace
Emergencies can happen anytime—whether it's a sudden cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, choking, or an accident on-site. Having trained staff who can respond immediately can mean the difference between life and death.
1. Legal & Regulatory Compliance
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, employers in Ireland are required to ensure that employees have access to adequately trained first aiders.
The PHECC FAR course is the only recognised standard for workplace first aid training in Ireland, meeting HSA (Health & Safety Authority) requirements.
2. Life-Saving Skills for Real Emergencies
FAR-certified staff are trained to manage critical situations such as:
Cardiac arrest (including AED use)
Choking incidents
Severe bleeding and burns
Medical emergencies like stroke, asthma, or diabetic shock
3. Reducing Risk & Response Time
Medical emergencies often occur before professional help arrives.
FAR training ensures immediate, effective action, reducing recovery time and the potential severity of injuries.
4. Creating a Safer Workplace Culture
Employees feel safer knowing their workplace is prepared for emergencies.
Builds confidence, boosts morale, and demonstrates a genuine commitment to employee welfare.
