In line with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must ensure that first aid provision is ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’. To fulfill this criterion it is recommended that employers assess their First Aid needs by identifying any specific work hazards and ensuring that sufficient first aid equipment, facilities and personnel are available to deal with the possible consequences of these hazards. This could range from calling for an ambulance to providing assistance to a casualty by administering first aid.
The HSE recommends that the following factors should be considered when assessing First Aid needs;
* the nature of the work and workplace hazards and risks;
* the size of the organisation;
* the nature of the workforce;
* the organisation’s history of accidents;
* the needs of travelling, remote and lone workers;
* work patterns;
* the distribution of the workforce;
* the remoteness of the site from emergency medical services;
* employees working on shared or multi-occupied sites;
* annual leave and other absences of first-aiders and appointed persons;
* first-aid provision for non-employees.
This is a single unit qualification, assessed by a 12 question multi-choice examination,
followed by a practical assessment, including Incident Management, Dealing with
Shock, Dealing with an Unconscious Casualty and CPR. Successful candidates must
achieve a score of at least 9 correct answers out of 12 in the multi-choice examination
before moving on to the practical assessments.
