First Aid Training

YOU AND YOUR STAFF COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH

Every year people die or are seriously injured in the workplace, often unnecessarily. Just knowing the basic skills of life support can be critical to ensuring someone who is ill or injured is given the appropriate assistance until the medical professionals take over. As an employer you have a legal obligation to meet first aid regulations appropriate to your business’s requirements.

It’s a Fact

If things go wrong, YOU as the business owner can’t plaster over it
First aid is the immediate or initial care given to someone who is ill or injured before qualified medical assistance arrives. Within the workplace it is governed by legislative requirements which apply to all businesses including self-employed and sole traders. As the business owner, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the necessary equipment, facilities and personnel in place to comply with health and safety guidelines. Prosecution and heavy financial penalties can be the result of failure to meet first aid requirements.

What should you do?
You should identify what the first aid requirements are for your business and then what levels of training, if necessary, are required to meet them. You will also need to find out what equipment to provide and any other arrangements that will be required to satisfy an adequate level of first aid cover not just for employees but, where necessary, customers, site visitors and contractors.
