Dear All,

Following the message I sent to you yesterday (18 March 2020) please see below the statement from HSE.

The changes will also apply to Paediatric First Aid and Emergency Paediatric First Aid.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is aware that people holding Offshore Medic (OM), Offshore First Aid (OFA), First Aid at Work (FAW) or Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) certificates nearing expiry date, might experience disruption to access to requalification training as a result of events or circumstances generated by the coronavirus pandemic.

This guidance comes into effect for certificates expiring on or after 16^th March 2020. HSE will review this matter over the coming months and will issue further statements as necessary.
