The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations, 1981, require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.

As a minimum a low-risk workplace such as a small office, should have a first aid box and a person appointed to take charge of first aid arrangements such as calling the emergency services if necessary. Workplaces where there are more significant health and safety issues are more likely to need a trained first aider. A first aid needs assessment will help employers decide what first aid arrangements are appropriate for their workplace.

At SPA Training (UK) Ltd, our comprehensive list of courses means we can help to ensure that students have the right provision of first aid in the event of an accident or illness in the students workplace.

All courses are either Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance or Qualsafe Awards (OfQual regulated - QCF/RQF) or SPA's own accredited courses.
