Assess what your workplace needs
Consider your work, hazards, workforce size, shift patterns, absences, locations and accident history.
For employers
Practical workplace training that supports compliance.
We help employers understand their first aid training options, choose the right level and keep teams confident and prepared.
Your responsibilities
Start with a first aid needs assessment.
Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel so employees can receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.
There is no single fixed number of first aiders for every business. Your arrangements should follow the needs of your workplace, workforce and risks.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Refer to current HSE guidance when completing your assessment.
Put suitable arrangements in place
Every workplace needs an appropriately stocked first aid kit, an appointed person and clear information for employees.
Train the right number of people
Where your assessment identifies a need, choose sufficient appropriately trained first aiders and plan cover for working patterns and absences.
Keep arrangements current
Certificates for workplace first aid purposes last three years. HSE also strongly recommends annual refresher training.
