FIRST AID ADVICE WEBSITE UPDATED

HSE re-launch first aid website for easier use and navigation

The first aid pages of the HSE website have been updated with a new structure, style and easier navigation.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed.

The site includes information on these legal duties, frequently asked questions and training. The facility to call and ‘ask an expert’ is also provided.
