HSE has recently revised two publications on first aid at work:
1. First Aid at Work: Guidance on Regulations (L74)
This publication outlines the necessary steps to ensure adequate first aid provision in the workplace. The updates now highlight employers’ responsibilities to consider employees’ mental health in their first aid needs assessment.
2. Selecting a First Aid Training Provider: A Guide for Employers (GEIS3)
This guide assists employers in identifying and choosing a competent training provider for their first aid training requirements. It has been updated to streamline the process of selecting a training provider.
These updates maintain compliance with existing legal requirements and do not introduce any new obligations.
