Workplace First Aid & the Law

Your Legal Duties

Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, every UK employer must carry out a first aid needs assessment, appoint a designated person or trained first aider, provide adequate equipment and facilities, and inform employees of the arrangements.

Higher-risk workplaces typically require trained first aiders on site plus additional provisions such as eye wash stations or defibrillators.

Defibrillator (AED) Training

AED training courses teach you to recognise sudden cardiac arrest and safely use an Automated External Defibrillator, following UK Resuscitation Council guidelines. Early defibrillation significantly improves survival rates.

Choose the right first aid qualification for your workplace — from one-day Emergency First Aid at Work to three-day First Aid at Work, plus paediatric, mental health, and defibrillator training.
