What First Aid Arrangements Do You Need to Have in Your Workplace?
Complying with First Aid Regulations
The Health and Safety Executive require that as a minimum
you have a suitably stocked first aid kit as well as a person who is appointed
to take charge in an emergency. In most cases this person will need to be
trained in first aid. The level of first aid that they need depends on the risk
within your workplace.
You are expected to carry out an assessment of first aid
needs (risk assessment) to establish which type of first aider is most
appropriate. We can help with this risk assessment at no cost to you, please
email or call for details. You will need to train your first aider in either
Emergency First Aid (1-day) or First Aid at Work (3-days) depending on the
risks involved.
You need to give the details of your first aid arrangements
to your employees as well as prominently display an HSE first aid poster. Bostock
trainers are registered and appraised by the national First Aid Industry Body
to ensure a very high quality of training. If you would like any more
