WHICH COURSE DO YOU NEED ?
WHAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU ?
The HSE First Aid Regulations (1981) require you to provide adequate
& appropriate equipment, facilities & personnel to enable
first aid to be given to your employees if they are injured or become
ill at work.
A person will not be suitable for this unless they have undergone
such training and has such qualifications, as the HSE may approve
or recognise.
In order to help you decide which course you need the following
is a guide from the HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP). Please
ring us if you are in any doubt.
