First Aiders bring obvious benefits to your business, including faster response during an emergency, a reduction of workplace accidents due to increased awareness and a more positive workforce.
Did you know that it is a legal requirement for ALL companies to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and first aid personnel?
What happens when your first aider is absent through sickness or holiday? We recommend you have more than one first aider in your business.
Remember, trained first aiders are not just for the office and their responsibility goes beyond that of holding a first aid tin.
Some small workplaces with low level hazards may only require a minimum provision for first aid, but to ascertain what is required a first aid risk assessment should be carried out to ensure that provision is appropriate to the circumstances (hazard and risks) of the workplace.
The minimum first aid provision in any workplace is:
· A suitably stocked first aid kit
· An appointed person to take charge of first aid requirements.
· Information for employees about first aid arrangements
· First aid box
