The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 requires employers to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities, and trained first-aiders to ensure their employees receive instant attention if they are injured or become ill at work.
The Regulations apply to all workplaces, including those with less than five employees and the self-employed.
To determine the number of trained first-aiders needed, employers are required to carry out an assessment of their own first-aid needs. The HSE provides an excellent guide which will help you determine the training you need.
