Managing First Aid - Higher Education

Home > Managing First Aid – Higher Education

Introduction

Unfortunately, incidents happen and people may get hurt whilst at work or whilst attending workplaces. Ensuring suitable care provision is in place which provides assistance to anyone that suffers injury or ill health is essential for all workplaces and places where employees work. If something unfortunate occurs you would want to make sure that the person is looked after, not only to prevent them getting any worse, but to also show that they were taken care of in these situations. This may also be useful in the event of any claim being brought in the future.

Being an employer or occupier means that certain obligations must be met. As an employer, the institution has responsibilities to both their employees and to others that might visit their premises. For example, visitors, contractors doing work on the premises or members of the public who can access your premises or site. These responsibilities are captured within legal requirements for an employer which includes having suitable first aid arrangements in place for foreseeable emergencies.

Being an occupier means that they have obligations towards anyone who’s able to gain access to their premises. The person may be a lawful visitor entitled to go there because of their role, for instance students or enforcement officers. Or they could also be an unlawful visitor such as a trespasser.

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 applies to every workplace and to the self-employed.

As a minimum they must have:

  • A suitable stocked first-aid kit
  • A first aider or appointed person or people to take charge of first aid arrangements.
  • Information for all employees telling them about first-aid arrangements.
