What is First Aid at Work?

Often referred to as the 3 P’s; Preserve life, Prevent worsening and Promote recovery, First Aid at Work is the immediate care and assistance given to a person who is ill or injured.

The serious bit

It was reported by the Labour Force Survey that in 2019/20 693,000 employees sustained injuries at work, so it won’t come as a surprise that having the necessary First Aid arrangements in place in your workplace is crucial.

The legal bit

Introduced in 1981 the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations requires an employer to ensure adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel are in place to provide immediate care and attention if an employee becomes ill or injured in the workplace.

After identifying and understanding issues such as; the level of risk involved in work activities, shift patterns, number of staff, accident history and other key factors employers must determine the company’s first aid needs and level of ‘adequacy’
