The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations set legal requirements for employers to provide appropriate first-aid services in the workplace. This includes ensuring that trained first-aiders are available, proper first-aid equipment is accessible, and employees know how to get immediate help in case of an injury or medical emergency. The goal is to protect the health and safety of workers by ensuring they receive prompt and effective care during an emergency, minimizing risks and injuries at work. Employers must regularly assess first-aid needs based on the specific risks associated with their workplace.
