schedule
Course Duration: 15+ minutes
This IIRSM-approved First Aid Risk Assessment Training course explores the first aid risk assessment process.
The course looks at the legal duties involved and how to identify what level of first aid provision is required. It is the employer’s responsibility to assess the level of first aid needed for their organisation. This provision must be ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’.
Inform and educate workers on the first-aid arrangements
“An employer shall provide, or ensure that there are provided, such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first-aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work.”
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, Section 3 (1)
To ensure appropriate measures are in place, employers must carry out a first-aid risk assessment to determine first aid needs. This involves consideration of occupational hazards and risks. It also depends on the organisation’s size and other relevant factors.
A risk assessment will determine what equipment, facilities, and personnel are necessary to provide the appropriate level of care.
