First Aid

Whilst having a registered First Aider in the workplace isn’t a legal requirement, it’s recommended. Ask yourself honestly - would you know exactly what to do if someone was suffering from a heart attack, how to recognise when someone is suffering from shock (even this can be fatal) or how to treat bleeding? Just as you have business insurance, life cover or motor insurance, having at least one person trained in First Aid gives you and everyone around you in the workplace a level of ‘insurance’ - you know that if there was an accident that there is someone who is proficient in taking the right steps to make sure the person concerned has help at hand rather than being at the mercy of the wait time of an ambulance. You never know, it could just save a life...maybe even yours.
