Frequently asked questions

First Aid at Work is much more than a matter of compliance – it’s an important piece of infrastructure that helps keep your staff safe in the workplace, and has the potential to save lives in a medical emergency. Discover some of our experts’ most frequently asked questions.

What is first aid at work?

First aid at work is the immediate provision of care and attention to someone who is injured or taken ill in the workplace, whether it has been caused by their work or not.

Employers have a legal responsibility to provide adequate first aid arrangements, such as providing fully-stocked first aid kits and ensuring trained personnel are on-hand in an emergency.

What is are the legal requirements for first aiders at in the workplace?

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require workplaces to provide adequate and appropriate first-aid equipment, facilities and qualified people to administer treatment to individuals injured or taken ill at work.

What level of first aid is required in the workplace?

The level of first aid required in the workplace depends on the workplace and findings of its first aid risk assessment..

Our 3-Day First Aid at Work training course is well suited to those working in higher-risk environments or larger workplaces with more than 50 employees.

Can you do first aid at work online?

The full First Aid at Work training course is not available entirely online as it features a practical skills assessment.

Our blended learning combines online theory with in-person practical training to offer a comprehensive approach to first aid training, enabling your staff to gain the key skills needed to keep individuals safe in the workplace and meet your organisational requirements.

How long does a First Aid at Work certificate last?

The First Aid at Work certificate lasts for three years upon completion of the course. However, the HSE recommends that first aiders should take a refresher course every year. This is because it's important to remain up to date on any new CPR techniques and processes, legislation and procedures for first aid in the workplace.

Failure to renew your first aid at work certificate will result in your qualified first aider losing their first aid accreditation. This means they will no longer be considered competent to act as a first aider by the HSE and they will not be counted towards the required number of first aiders in your workplace.

We offer both 3-Day First Aid at Work courses and First Aid Refresher courses to ensure your staff keep their certificates and knowledge up to date. Check out our full first aid courses here.

How long is a first aid at work course? The First Aid at Work course is 18 hours long and is run over a minimum of 3 days.

How many people at work should be first aid trained?

The number of trained first aiders your workplace needs will depend on the number of employees and the risks present. It’s best to take a full first aid needs assessment to correctly identify your first aid requirements.

As a guideline, there should be one first aider for every 50 workers in low-risk workplaces, and

one first aider for every 25 workers in high-risk environments.
