What is First Aid:

First Aid equips people with the confidence and skills necessary to help those who have been injured or are ill until the emergency services arrive.  Whilst it is law for the self employed and employers to have First Aid preparations in place (details below) it is also highly recommended for individuals in general who wish to know what to do in an emergency should the need ever arise.  Additionally it is also a very useful qualification for CV's.

First Aid regulations

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 apply to all workplaces in Great Britain,

including those with less than five employees, and to the self employed.

Regulation 1 Citation and commencement

These Regulations may be cited as the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations

1981 and shall come into operation on 1st July 1982.

Regulation 2 Interpretation

(3) Employers have a legal duty to make arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. It doesn’t matter whether the injury or illness is caused by the work they do. What is important is that they receive immediate attention and that an ambulance is called in serious cases.

(1) An employer shall provide, or ensure that there are provided, such

equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for

enabling first-aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work.

(2) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), an employer shall provide, or ensure

that there is provided, such number of suitable persons as is adequate and

appropriate in the circumstances for rendering first-aid to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work; and for this purpose a person shall not be suitable

unless he has undergone –

(a) such training and has such qualifications as the Health and Safety

Executive may approve for the time being in respect of that case or class

of case, and

(b) such additional training, if any, as may be appropriate in the

circumstances of that case.
