The need for training?
Accidents and illnesses can occur at work, it is necessary to cope with them effectively. First aid training to national standards could save the lives of yourself and your workmates.
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to have adequate arrangements for first aid and have procedures for dealing with emergencies. A minimum of one staff member must be appointed and trained to take charge of first aid provision. |
