First Aid
What is first aid and how does it affect my business?
First aid is the immediate medical assistance given to someone suffering from an accident, injury or illness. First aid is given by ordinary trained people before professional medical help arrives.
The minimum first aid requirement in every workplace is:
- a first aid box (including the appropriate equipment).
- a person trained to administer first aid.
- first aid information for all employees.
Every employer in the UK, regardless of company size, is legally obliged to plan for the provision of first aid at work. Although not a legal requirement that all employers have a fully trained first aider, someone must be appointed to take charge of first aid in the workplace.
A special note for those who are self-employed: you also have an obligation to make sure that you have adequate first aid equipment for your work environment.
