 FIRST
AID TRAINING
With first aid training you could save a life.
People at work can suffer injury or sudden illness. It is important
that employers have made arrangements to ensure their employees receive
immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.
The Health and 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 are injured
or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces
including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed.
What is adequate will depend on the circumstances in the workplace.
This includes whether trained first aiders are needed, what should
be included in a first aid box and if a first aid room is needed.
Employers should carry out an assessment of first aid needs to determine
this.
Provision must be made for cover for holidays or sickness absence, An EFAW trained First Aider cannot be used to replace an FAW trained First Aider during illness or holiday
