Posted By R M Diss Hi, Would a holder of the above be able to be a First Aider at Work or would they need to take the current 4 day First Aid at Work course? Regards Rob

Posted By Dan Malone Hi there, In response to your question about Emergency First Response over Occupational First Aider, you should verify that the EFR is to a higher standard then the OFA. In that case you should be covered. I am a certified OFA and a Emergency Medical First Responder (EMFR). Here in Ireland being certified to OFA is considered the minimum. EMFR and EFR normally complete 5 days training to a higher standard then that of OFA. There are also trained in Oxygen therapy and Splinting. Spinal injuries are also covered but assisting patients with this type of injury should only be done when there is same level or above (paramedic)assistance available. Regards Dan Malone EMFR
