First Aid Needs Assessment

Confused as to which course is right for your business? You’re not alone. Luckily, we can point you in the right direction and help you with your decision.

Initially, visit the HSE website and look at the First Aid Guidelines 1981. There is a section detailing how to complete a needs assessment exercise for your business. This will consider the risks within your workplace and advise on numbers of trained personnel, first aid equipment, and documentation required to meet their guidelines. Also, Qualsafe Awards have a free online tool that asks all the relevant questions regarding your business and associated risks. A free report will be produced to help you with your decision. Remember, every business is different, the final decision and responsibility lies with the business owners.
