First Aid Legislation

Legislation

In the event of injury or sudden illness, failure to provide first aid could result in a casualty’s death. The employer should ensure that an employee who is injured or taken ill at work receives immediate attention.

HSE will prosecute in cases where there is a significant risk, a disregard for established standards or persistent poor compliance with the law. More information can be found in 'HSE's Enforcement Policy Statement'^[1].

Employers’ legal duties

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with less than five employees and to the self-employed. Detailed information can be found in First aid at work. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. Approved Code of Practice and guidance.

Assessment of first-aid needs

Employers are required to carry out an assessment of first-aid needs. This involves consideration of workplace hazards and risks, the size of the organisation and other relevant factors, to determine what first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel should be provided.

We deliver courses on an 'in-house' basis for organisations. Courses can also be designed and adapted to an individual group's needs on a bespoke basis. Courses that are purchased by organisations are usually run at a location of their choice and filled with their own delegates. Continuing professional development is increasingly recognised as an essential feature of the caring professions.

The main courses we specialise in are:

• One Day Emergency First Aid Courses
• Two Day Refresher First Aid at Work
• Three Day First Aid at Work
• Paediatric First Aid Courses

• Travelling and accommodation costs can be reduced or removed.

Venue Requirements:

First Aid Courses
The training venue should comply with all necessary health and safety standards and sufficient space should be available for the number of delegates attending. The room should be large enough to seat everyone comfortably in a semi-circle formation with open floor space in the centre. The floor area should be clean and uncluttered, as this will be used for the practical parts of the course.
