Why is first aid at work important?

First aid skills can help to save lives and prevent minor accidents and illnesses becoming more serious in the workplace. 

The HSE estimates that 693,000 people sustained an injury at work and there were 142 fatalities at work in 2019/20. This resulted in 38.8 million working days lost due to work related injury and illness with an estimated cost of £16.2 billion.
