First Aid Compliance
The assessment of First Aid requirements is an integral part of the risk assessment process under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
Consequently the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 state that an employer "shall provide or ensure that there is provided, such number of suitable persons as is adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for rendering First Aid to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work".
As Consultants we can provide advice and guidance in this area so that you can be sure that you are complying with "the Regulations" and give you access to the required training.
First Aid Guidance
As leading experts in the First Aid Industry we are able to advice and guidance on the First Aid Regulations to Employers, Employees, Trade Unions, Trade Associations and members of the public.
We will also provide advice and guidance to Organisations wishing to seek approval as Training Providers of First Aid training and particularly those seeking HSE approval.
We can also give guidance to organisations who wish to submit Tenders for First Aid related activities.
The Relationship between First Aid and Health and Safety
"The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has become aware of research finding that suggests people with First Aid training may have a positive influence on Health and Safety in the workplace. First Aiders may be in an advantageous position to help spread positive, basic health and safety messages throughout Industry."
The Health and Safety benefits arising from First Aid training may not be limited to First Aiders themselves. It is possible that First Aiders can directly and indirectly influence the Health and Safety of other people within the workplace.
As Health and Safety Consultants we can provide access to basic Health and Safety Training.
