First Aid Requirements & RIDDOR
This course helps managers understand what the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 and HSE guidance L74 expect: a first aid needs assessment, adequate personnel, equipment and facilities, and clear information for employees. It also covers recording first aid treatment and how this links to reporting under RIDDOR 2013. It is an awareness course for managers only: it does not provide a First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, and first aid skills need practical, assessed training.
