FIRST AID AT WORK
Overview: All businesses are required under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations of 1981 to put measures in place to guarantee that their staff members receive prompt care if they are hurt or become ill at work. This entails performing a risk assessment, designating an appropriate number of first responders, and offering suitable first aid instruction.
Employees are responsible for providing the necessary personnel, training, and tools to give first aid to their co-workers.
