HSE decide First Aid Rules are still fit for purpose.
The first full review of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, has decided that the rules are still fit for purpose. However there are recommendations in the review including the following:
- Regulations and ACOP should not be changed.
- Guidance should be revised.
- First aid courses should be restructured. The 4 day course being replaced with a 1 day, or 3 day course. Employers should assess which level of training was required.
- HSE should approve both structure and content of courses. Should not approve the providers as is currently the case.
- HSE should encourage the industry to set up its own regulatory body.
The regulations still require ALL employers to provide equipment, facilities and personnel to allow injured and ill workers to be taken care of.
