Why This First Aid at Work Training Is Important

Employers must make adequate and appropriate first aid provision under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. What this looks like depends on the workplace, the risks involved and the findings of the employer’s first aid needs assessment.

This online basic first aid at work course supports those arrangements by giving frontline staff basic emergency awareness. It helps workers recognise common medical emergencies, call for help quickly and take safe, practical action until a trained first aider or emergency services arrive.

It does not replace the need for appointed persons, suitable first aid equipment or trained first aiders where these are required by the employer’s assessment.
