HSE First Aid at Work

In Sept 2009 HSE guidelines for First Aid in the Workplace are changing so we have already started to get ready for this. To read more about the changes click here.

From October 2009, HSE First Aid at Work will be a three day course. First Aid training is required by Law for all companies and businesses.

 

First Aid at Work Training Course

The health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they become ill or injured at work. These regulations apply to all workplaces including those with 5 or less employees and to the self employed. Employers need to provide first aid care on their premises for staff and have a duty of care towards all visitors and users of their facilities.
