First aid at work
6.9.1 Introduction
People at work can suffer injuries or fall ill. It does not 
matter whether the injury or the illness is caused by the 
work they do. What is important is that they receive 
immediate attention and that an ambulance is called in 
serious cases. First aid at work covers the arrangements 
employers must make to ensure this happens. It can save 
lives and prevent minor injuries becoming major ones.
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 
requires employers to provide adequate and appropriate 
equipment, facilities and personnel to enable fi rst aid to 
be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at 
work.
What is adequate and appropriate will depend on the 
circumstances in a particular workplace. 
The minimum fi rst-aid provision on any worksite is:

a suitably stocked fi rst-aid box

an appointed person to take charge of fi rst-aid 
arrangements.
It is also important to remember that accidents can hap-
pen at any time. First-aid provision needs to be available 
at all times people are at work.
Many small fi rms will only need to make the minimum 
fi 
rst-aid provision. However, there are factors which 
might make greater provision necessary. The following 
checklist covers the points that should be considered.
6.9.2 Aspects to consider
The risk assessments carried out under the MHSW and 
COSHH regulations should show whether there any 
specifi c risks in the workplace. The following should be 
considered:

are there hazardous substances, dangerous tools 
and equipment; dangerous manual handling tasks, 
electrical shock risks, dangers from neighbours or 
animals?

are there different levels of risk in parts of the 
premises or site?

what is the accident and ill-health record, type and 
location of incidents?

what is the total number of persons likely to be on 
site?
