Statutory Qualifications for HSE Regulatory Compliance
Employers need to provide First Aid care on their premises for staff and have a duty of care towards all visitors and users of their facilities.
The importance of First Aid in the work place
HSE have made recommendations that all businesses and their premises have a suitably qualified First Aider onsite.  This will depend on the type of ‘business’ you are and what you offer as a service.  Employers now have to complete a hazard assessment of their business and premises which would indicate the level of First Aid cover needed.  Please follow this link to get a better understanding of how this works- HSE
