Advice For Employers
On the 1st October 2009, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) implemented new rules for
employers on first aid at work. Employers must by law carry out a first aid training needs
assessment. There are now two types of first aiders: First Aid at Work (3 day course) and an
Emergency First Aid at Work (1 day course). In addition, the HSE now recommends that all first
aiders attend annual refresher training of 3 hours.
This assessment will help you identify            It is the responsibility of an employer
what type of first aid training your first        to decide how many employees are
aiders need, how many first aiders you            trained as First Aiders, as well as which
need and where they should be located.            type of training they need. Assessing the
                                                  risks of your workplace and referring to
