First Aid
First aid in the work place can be easily overlooked, particularly by smaller companies.
Implementing a First Aid Policy when an accident has already happened is too late.
Thankfully the majority of accidents which occur in the work place are minor. Having a fully stocked first aid kit is essential within a business of any size, as is having the correct visual signage, a first aid policy, and supporting documents.
It is well documented that in the event of a serious accident, the actions which are taken immediately can often save a person's life. A lot of time is spent in the work place; it is therefore imperative that somebody within your organisation has been trained in basic first aid and understands what is required of them in an emergency situation.
All businesses should have at least one, preferably two, individuals on their premises at all times who have first aid knowledge. Both the Red Cross and St.John's Ambulance offer a First Aid At Work course. Responsible employers should ensure that they have individuals within their business who have achieved this certification, giving peace of mind to other employees, customers and visitors that there is somebody on site to assist them in the event of a first aid emergency.
One of our Health & Safety Consultants will visit your premises and carry out a full First Aid Assessment on your behalf.
We feedback the results to you and discuss areas which may need improvement.
We will then work closely with you to implement processes and policies to ensure your company has in place all of its' first aid requirements.
