First Aid - because accidents can sometimes happen

Under UK Health & Safety law businesses must demonstrate that every effort has been made to minimise the risk of accidents in the workplace. However, even in the most conscientious establishments accidents can happen and people can sometimes fall ill.

Workplace First Aid planning covers the arrangements that must be in place to ensure that those in need of help receive swift attention. Legislation requires the provision of adequate equipment, facilities and procedures. Trained First Aid personnel are key to this planning. First Aiders must have a valid certificate of competence.

Many small firms may only need to make minimal arrangements to comply. However, this will depend not only on the number of personnel employed but also the level of risk of any particular job. Although organisations may have no legal responsibility for non-employees, the Health & Safety Executive strongly recommend that the public are included in any First Aid provision. Firms must assess what First Aid training is required and what level is needed to adequately cover each work area and possibly each shift.
