Stroke Recognition in the Workplace: The FAST Method
Stroke is a time-critical emergency. The faster it is recognised, the better the outcome, so the Level 2 course drills the FAST method until it is reflex.

- Face drooping
- Arm weakness
- Speech difficulty
- Time, note when symptoms started, call 911
BE-FAST adds
- Balance problems
- Eyes, sudden vision loss
Do not give food, drink or aspirin. Position comfortably, oxygen if trained, wait for EMS. See patient assessment.
