FAQ’s

  • The The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) states, “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.”

  • The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that every workplace carry a first aid kit. This is not the law. However, it is a legal responsibility to offer 'prompt attention' to injured personnel. It is thus strongly advised to follow this guidance in order to avoid breaching the law.

  • First, review the UK Health and Safety Executive's recommendations. This specifies how many first responders your organisation should have based on its size and risk level. In addition, you will need to do a risk assessment. This will include the equipment your employees utilise, the nature of their work, and any other elements that may have an influence on workplace safety.

  • Sometimes, businesses choose to invite us to their venue which means reduced course costs and less downtime for the workforce. We can also arrange suitable training facilities where training at your location is not suitable. We can run first aid courses all over Norfolk and surrounding counties such as Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire.
