First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work
As an employer you have a legal obligation under the Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Approved Code of Practise & Guidance (L74) to risk assess the first aid needs of your workplace in order to ensure that there is provided, such a number of suitable persons, equipment and facilities as is adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for rendering first aid to employees if they are injured or become ill at work.
The risk assessment detailing what first aid provision is needed requires the employer to take into account:
- workplace hazards
- the size of the organisation
- the organisation's history of accidents
- the nature and distribution of the workforce
- the remoteness of the site from emergency medical services
- the needs of travelling, remote and lone workers
- employees working on shared or multi-occupied sites
- annual leave and other absences of first aiders and appointed persons.
The HSE only Approve First Aid at Work and Emergency First Aid at Work as the qualifications that meets these needs. RTA can provide these courses for your business.
