First Aid

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 were being reviewed by the Health and Safety Executive and where possible the following information takes account of the recommendations for change with regard to the levels and training of first-aiders, which are due to be implemented in early 2006.

First Aid provision in the workplace saves lives. It can prevent medical conditions or minor injuries from becoming major ones. It can help employers reduce costs from injury and it is a legal obligation on every single employer to make sure that their employees receive the right first aid care in the workplace.

The legal obligation

Employers have an obligation under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L74) to make adequate and appropriate First Aid Provision for their workforce.

Risk Assessment

Each employer should carry out its own risk assessment to establish what level of first aid cover it requires at each location.The table offers guidance to minimum levels of First Aid cover but is no replacement for a thorough risk assessment.
