Emergency First Aid at Work
1 Day Emergency First Aid at Work Course
Employers have an obligation under the Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations 1981 and Approved Code of Practice (ACOP L74) to make adequate and appropriate First Aid provision for their workforce.
It is recommended that someone is able to undertake First Aid duties at all times whilst people are at work.
