The LAW

  • Legislation

    In the event of injury or sudden illness, failure to provide first aid could result in a casualty’s death. The employer should ensure that an employee who is injured or taken ill at work receives immediate attention.

    HSE will prosecute in cases where there is a significant risk, a disregard for established standards or persistent poor compliance with the law.

  • Employers’ legal duties

    The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with less than five employees and to the self-employed.
    What is ‘adequate and appropriate’ will depend on the circumstances in the workplace. This includes whether trained first-aiders are needed, what should be included in a first-aid box and if a first-aid room is required. Employers should carry out an assessment of first-aid needs to determine what to provide.

    The Regulations do not place a legal duty on employers to make first-aid provision for non-employees such as the public or children in schools. However, HSE strongly recommends that non-employees are included in an assessment of first-aid needs and that provision is made for them.
  • Download HSE Guidelines for Employers’ Legal Duties

  • Assessment of first-aid needs

    Employers are required to carry out an assessment of first-aid needs. This involves consideration of workplace hazards and risks, the size of the organisation and other relevant factors, to determine what first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel should be provided.

Are you an employer?

You must have first-aid arrangements in your workplace. This advice will help you and includes information on appointing a first-aider and reporting accidents or ill health.

What employers need to do

You are responsible for making sure that your employees receive immediate attention if they are taken ill or are injured at work. Accidents and illness can happen at any time and first aid can save lives and prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones.
Your arrangements will depend on the particular circumstances in your workplace and the outcomes of your first-aid needs assessment.
As a minimum, you must have:

 

  • a suitably stocked first-aid box
  • an appointed person to take charge of first-aid arrangements;
  • information for all employees giving details of first-aid arrangements.
