From time to time, accidents occur at work, even in the most safety conscious businesses. First aid can save lives or prevent injuries from worsening, so if someone is injured or suddenly falls ill at work, they should receive immediate treatment, regardless of whether their injury or illness was caused by work
No matter the size of your business, it’s your responsibility as an employer to make sure you have the appropriate first aid arrangements in place, including first aid equipment (a first aid kit), facilities to treat injuries and a designated person to carry out first aid.
Expert advice to reduce workplace risk, keeping you compliant to make sure you, your team and your customers make it home safely at the end of the day. We’re Primed, so you’re ready.
First aid requirements at work
To establish what first aid requirements are needed, a first aid risk assessment should be carried out. This will help you identify how many first aiders you need. First aiders need to be able to carry out the appropriate level of first aid, which may mean they need to attend a first aid training course.
Your health & safety policy should also include the details of first aid arrangements.
Reporting accidents
Certain serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences such as near misses need to be reported under RIDDOR (The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations).
RIDDOR is in place to help keep you and your employees safe at work and it also allows the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and local authorities to investigate serious accidents, identify how risks arise and help them to monitor accident trends, allowing them to invest in strategies to prevent accidents and additional training for the future.
