First Aid at Work Courses

Find more information on our First Aid courses below

First Aid at Work is a legal requirement. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require you to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and people so your employees can be given immediate help if they are injured or taken ill at work.

Having the correct first aid provision in the workplace is incredibly important for the safety of all employees. Use our First Aid Requirements Calculator to get a full breakdown of how many First Aiders your workplace needs and the type of training they require.
