First Aid

First aid training is a critical component of health and safety management, ensuring employees can respond effectively to workplace injuries or medical emergencies. Prompt and competent first aid can prevent minor incidents from escalating, reduce recovery times, and even save lives. Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, UK employers must provide adequate first aid provisions, including trained personnel and appropriate equipment. Training equips staff with essential skills—such as CPR, wound management, and choking response—while fostering a safer work environment. It also demonstrates legal compliance, reduces accident-related downtime, and boosts employee confidence in handling emergencies. Investing in first aid training ultimately supports duty of care, mitigates risks, and promotes a culture of workplace safety.
