Paediatric First Aid

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require 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 less employees and to the self-employed.

What is adequate will depend on the circumstances in the workplace. This includes whether or how many trained first aiders are needed, what should be included in a first aid box and if a first aid room is required.
