First aid in the workplace is currently guided by the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations [of] 1981. Adhering to these regulations ensures that you’re meeting the basics of providing a safe working environment. It also offers protection from legal cases that could arise after an emergency situation.
Different types of workplaces have different levels of need when it comes to safety. For example, an office worker is at low risk of injury in their daily duties compared to somebody who is working in a warehouse or operating heavy machinery. A first-aid assessment helps you determine your organisation’s unique needs so that you can meet them accordingly.
