Legal requirements: As an employer you have a legal obligation under the Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Approved Code of Practise & Guidance (L74) to risk assess the first aid needs of your workplace in order to ensure that there is provided, such a number of suitable persons, equipment and facilities as is adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for rendering first aid to employees if they are injured or become ill at work.

The risk assessment detailing what first aid provision is needed requires the employer to take into account:

workplace hazards
the size of the organisation
the organisation's history of accidents
the nature and distribution of the workforce
the remoteness of the site from emergency medical services
the needs of travelling, remote and lone workers
employees working on shared or multi-occupied sites
annual leave and other absences of first aiders and appointed persons.
