Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 requires employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work.
These regulations apply to all workplaces, including those with five or fewer employees, and to the self-employed. How much first-aid provision an employer has to make depends on the circumstances of each workplace.

First Aid Training in Schools
It is a legal requirement to have a health and safety (first-aid) policy in place at schools, in order to protect both employees and non-employees such as students.
First aid provisions must be available while people are on a school or college premises. It must also be available when staff, pupils and students are working elsewhere, on school or college activities, including any off-site activity such as educational visits.Â
Schools and colleges should carry out a first aid needs assessment to help inform that policy, which may identify the need for training select staff in First Aid. The Academy can provide comprehensive First Aid training for staff who are working in schools.
