Learn about workplace first aid arrangements, and how to build them into your health and safety system with Pilla and AI.
Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on workplace first aid.
When someone is injured or suddenly unwell, the first few minutes can make a significant difference to the outcome. Ensuring suitable and sufficient first aid provision, with trained personnel and properly stocked equipment, is both a legal requirement and a duty of care.
First aid boxes must include specific items such as sterile plasters, eye pads, triangular bandages, wound dressings, disposable gloves, and a guidance leaflet. Contents should be checked regularly and restocked promptly when supplies are used or expire. There must be enough first aid boxes for the number of employees on shift, positioned so every work area has access within reasonable distance.
Businesses must consider their specific activities and risks. This may include burn dressings for hot environments, eye wash stations where chemicals are used, or provisions for employees with known medical conditions. Staff must know how to assess a situation, call emergency services, locate the nearest first aid box, and find a trained first aider.
