In-house training for larger organisations
We can manage it for you
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations and First Aid requirements are something all larger organisations must to comply with, but you don’t want the stress of handling it all. As an employer you are responsible for making sure that whoever trains your staff is competent to do so, which is where Anglia CPR can help by managing it for you.
What training you need
HSE does not specify the number of first aiders you need in a UK workplace, as it depends on the number of employees and the nature of the work being carried out. Employers are expected to carry out a risk assessment to determine the number of First Aid-trained members of staff needed. HSE’s guidance states the following, based on a risk assessment determining a low-hazard working environment:
Fewer than 25 employees: At least one Appointed Person to manage first aid arrangements. This means looking after the equipment, facilities and calling the emergency services.
25-50 employees: At least one person trained in Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW).
More than 50 employees: One person trained in First Aid at Work (FAW) is recommended for every 100 employees (or part thereof).
The above figures depend on the level of risk in an organisation, for example an office vs a manufacturing environment. The higher the risk, the higher the ratio of First Aid-trained persons to employees you are likely to need.
