The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to make arrangements to ensure
their employees receive immediate attention if they are
injured or taken ill at work. This includes carrying out a
risk assessment, appointing a suitable amount of first
aiders and providing appropriate first aid training.
However, having the correct first aid provision in the
workplace is not just a legal requirement, it is incredibly
important for the safety of all members of staff!
The QA Level 2 Award in First Aid Essentials (RQF) is a regulated and nationally recognised qualification designed for those who have a specific interest or responsibility at work, or in voluntary and community activities, to provide basic first aid in emergency situations.
