What You Need to Know About Workplace First Aid Training
Yes, under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must provide “first aid provision” for their employees. There is no single rule for first aid training requirements for businesses in Scotland as it depends on various factors such as industry, risk level and number of employees. For some lower-risk businesses, having a named person responsible for first aid is sufficient (our one-day emergency first aid at work course would benefit this person), while for some higher risk industries, having certified first aiders is legally required. Our range of workplace first aid courses covers all these scenarios. Browse our courses to see which one suits your needs, or get in touch with our team who will be happy to guide you.
There is no fixed legal number of first aiders required for businesses in Scotland as it depends on your workplace size, layout, the nature of your work and your hours of operation. As a rule of thumb, low-risk workplaces with fewer than 25 employees typically need at least one appointed person while larger or higher-risk workplaces will need more.
The HSE recommends carrying out a first aid needs assessment to determine how many first aiders a workplace needs to have.
Low-risk workplaces (such as offices, shops and call centres) are typically best suited to Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW). Higher-risk workplaces (construction, manufacturing, warehousing) typically need the full First Aid at Work (FAW) qualification. If your first aiders need to requalify then our requalification course will renew their certificate for a further three years, or if you want to keep their first aid skills sharp then our annual first aid refresher course is a good option. If you’re unsure what course you need, get in touch with our team who can advise on the right course for your business.
