Employers need to provide First Aid care on their premises for staff and have a duty of care towards all visitors and users of their facilities. We can assist you in your assessment of your statutory first aid needs.

All the courses listed above are suitable for all sectors and situations in the workplace and many organisations regularly send one or two individuals to these courses.  The type of course chosen depends upon a risk assessment of your first aid needs. Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 www.hse.gov.uk

From 1 October 2009, changes to the first aid training regime are being introduced to give businesses and organisations greater flexibility. While legislation remains the same, there are changes to the supporting guidance.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide suitable first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work.1 Regulation 3(2) states that in order to provide first aid to injured or ill employees, ‘…a person shall not be suitable unless he has undergone (a) such training and has such qualifications as the Health and Safety Executive may approve for the time being in respect of that case or class of case, and (b) such additional training, if any, as may be appropriate in the circumstances of that case’. 

For employers to comply with this Regulation, their first-aiders must have a valid certificate of competence in FAW or EFAW, issued by a suitable training provider (see paragraphs 8-9).
