First Aid Arrangements

First aid is vital for managing health emergencies at work, making our environment safer and more responsive.

Risk assessment

We regularly check for hazards that might need first aid. These checks follow all relevant rules, helping us stay proactive about health and safety.

First aid provision

Following the law, we’ve looked at our first aid needs, including mental health first aid. We’ve got the right equipment, places, and people for first aid, based on what we do, how many of us there are, and the specific risks we’ve found.

Training and skills

Employees who give first aid are trained and skilled, meeting all legal requirements. We keep training them so they stay good at what they do and know the latest in first aid.

First aid locations

We have enough first aid locations for our work, how many of us work here, and the risks we know about. Everyone can get to these places or kits easily.

Telling everyone what to do

Everyone knows about our first aid steps. We tell them where first aid is, who our first aiders are, and what to do if there’s an emergency.

Checking and updating

We often look at our first aid setup to make sure it works well and follows the latest laws and good ideas. We learn from any accidents to make things better.

Emergency steps

We’ve made clear plans for emergencies to help us react fast and correctly. We’ve told everyone these plans and check them when things change at work.

Keeping records

We write down what we check, train, and any accidents that happen. We keep these records safe and ready for officials to see if needed.

Extra steps for young people

For schools and nurseries, we follow what local education authorities say about first aid training. Even though it’s not a must, our risk checks also think about people who aren’t our employees, making sure first aid is there for everyone.
