First Aid Training

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require you to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and people so your employees can be given immediate help if they are injured or taken ill at work. Any person undertaking First Aid, MUST hold a valid qualification that is approved by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE)

For guidance on the number of first aiders for your business check the HSE guidance - First Aid Guidance Leaflet

A first-aider is someone who has undertaken training and has a qualification that HSE approves. This means that they must hold a valid certificate of competence in either:

first aid at work (FAW), issued by a training organisation approved by HSE; or
emergency first aid at work (EFAW), issued by a training organisation approved by HSE or a recognised Awarding Body

Basic First Aid for Appointed Person

If you decide you don’t need a first-aider in your workplace, you should appoint someone to take charge of first-aid arrangements. The role of this appointed person includes looking after first-aid equipment and facilities and calling the emergency services when required. They can also provide emergency cover where a first-aider is absent due to unforeseen circumstances (annual leave does not count).
