Why’s It Important?
Having designated first aiders in the workplace is a legal requirement. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 state that employers should provide adequate and appropriate equipment and enough trained first aiders to help injured or ill staff.
Although accidents are preventable, they can still occur. Therefore, it is important to be prepared. Having adequately trained first aid personnel on-site will ensure that if an emergency arises, it will be dealt with promptly and effectively.
However, if you fail to provide qualified first aiders, you are putting everyone in your business at risk.
How would you feel if you had to tell someone’s family that their loved one died because no one in your business knew what to do?
