The Importance of Emergency First Aid

Accidents and illnesses can occur at any time. Providing immediate attention can save lives and prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states that employers must ensure appropriate first-aid arrangements are in place based on a thorough needs assessment of their workplace​ (HSE)​.

Legal Requirements for Employers

Employers are legally required to make appropriate first-aid arrangements. This includes assessing the workplace's specific risks and ensuring that there is adequate provision of first-aid personnel, equipment, and facilities. In workplaces with significant health and safety risks, such as those involving machinery or hazardous materials, having a trained first-aider is essential.
