Under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 (SI 1981/917), employers must provide such first aid equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances. What is adequate and appropriate will depend on factors including the nature of the hazards and risks involved in the type of work, the size of the organisation and the location of the workplace. Employers should carry out a needs assessment to determine what level of first-aid provision they should put in place.
