First aid at work

The Law
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide suitable first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel to enable immediate assistance to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. Regulation 3(2) states that in order to provide first aid to injured or ill employees, ‘…a person shall not be suitable unless he has undergone –

1) such training and has such qualifications as the Health and Safety Executive may approve for the time being in respect of that case or class of case, and

2) such additional training, if any, as may be appropriate in the circumstances of that case’

The document, www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/l74, on the HSE website provides further information.

Training courses
If you have identified that first-aiders are needed in your workplace, they must have a valid certificate of competence in FAW or emergency first aid at work (EFAW). EFAW training enables a first-aider to give emergency first aid to someone who is injured or becomes ill while at work. FAW training includes EFAW and also equips the first-aider to apply first aid to a range of specific injuries and illnesses. The findings of the first-aid needs assessment can help you decide whether your first-aiders should be trained in FAW or EFAW.

The table on the HSE website, www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg214, suggests what first-aid personnel to provide under different circumstances.

If you have five or more employees you will require a written Health and Safety Policy Statement in order to satisfy legislation. Your Statement is the starting point to managing Health and Safety in the workplace and sets out how you manage Health and Safety in your company. We will create for you a unique document, which will show who does what, and when and how they do it.

The policy will be specific to your business, and will be clear about arrangements and organisation for Health and Safety at work. It will help in influencing all your activities including; the selection of people; equipment and materials; the way work is done; and how you design goods and services.

A written statement of your policy, your organisation, and your arrangements for the implementation and monitoring of your Health and Safety management system shows your staff and other interested bodies that hazards have been identified and risks have been assessed and eliminated, or are being controlled.
