Who should take this qualification?
Employers must carry out a risk assessment to determine whether a qualified First Aider is required in their workplace, and if so, how many.
Do I need a qualified First Aider at my work?
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 fewer employees and to the self-employed.
What is ‘adequate and appropriate’ provision?
What is adequate will depend on the circumstances in the workplace. This includes whether trained first aiders are needed, what should be included in a first aid box and if a first aid room is needed. Employers should carry out an assessment of first aid needs to determine this.
How do I carry out the assessment?
For more detailed information about what provision you will need in your place of work go to: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg214.pdf which contains a risk assessment checklist.
Assessment: Practical assessment.

Testimonials:
Barbara Le Brocq
Cluster HR Coordinator
"CPL Training has carried out First Aid training on behalf of Hilton Hotel within the South East Cluster for a number of years. We have been delighted with the level of service they have provided from administration through to delivery. We have found the trainers to be experienced and committed to providing a first class service. Shortly after the last training course, one of our newly trained members of staff was required to administer first aid and commented that it was as if the trainer were beside her instructing her through it. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of this company and I have no doubt that our relationship will continue for many years to come."
