Under the first aid at work legislation, employers are legally required to arrange for their employees to receive immediate attention if they have become ill or get injured at work.
It is the responsibility of the employer to determine exactly what first aid provisions are needed based on their specific workplace environment. The minimum provisions that the HSE requires to be in place are an ‘appointed person’ to take charge of first aid arrangements and a first aid kit which will need to be suitably stocked.
