Legislation
Every workplace must appoint someone to take charge of all the First Aid arrangements.
HSE guidelines will determine the level of cover and training that you require. Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in substantial fines to your business.
Adequate and Appropriate Personnel
All employers are required to provide “adequate and appropriate” equipment, facilities and personnel so employees can be given first aid should they become injured or unwell at work. This applies to all workplaces including those who are self-employed. What is deemed adequate will depend on your individual workplace.
As well as being Adequately trained, first aiders should be fully competent and confident in their skills so they can handle urgent and possibly life-threatening situations.
Assessment of First Aid Needs
Employers are required to carry out an assessment of their first aid needs every three years. Factors to consider include hazards, the size of the organisation, the industry you work in and other relevant factors.
