Workplace first aid requirements vary depending on the size, type, and level of risk within an organisation. Having trained first aiders ensures staff can respond effectively to workplace accidents and provide immediate support until emergency services arrive.
What First Aid Training Does My Organisation Need?
Organisations will typically need nominated staff trained in either Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work training, depending on their workplace environment and requirements.
Which First Aid Course Do I Choose?
Emergency First Aid at Work (1 Day)
Suitable for lower-risk workplaces such as offices and shops, particularly where there are fewer than 50 employees.
First Aid at Work (3 Days)
Suitable for higher-risk workplaces such as manufacturing sites and workshops, or organisations with more than 50 employees.
How Many People Do You Need Trained?
A minimum of two trained first aiders per building is recommended, allowing cover when another first aider is unavailable.
