Employers' Duties

Legal duties

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. Detailed information can be found in the Approved Code of Practice and Guidance: First aid at work. The Health and Safety (First-Aid )Regulations1981

Duty of Care

HSE strongly recommends that employers include the public and others on their premises when making their assessment of first aid needs.

First Aid is a Life Skill

Research suggests people with first aid training, as well as being trained to manage injuries and illness in the workplace, may actually contribute to preventing accidents, and to spreading positive basic health and safety messages.
