First Aid training
The Health and Safety Department have restarted face to face first aid training courses. Staff requiring requalification training will be contacted directly with a course date near to when their current certificate expires. In addition we have launched a self assessment tool on LEARN, this is intended as a resource for University of Edinburgh First Aiders, to help to maintain their knowledge and keep their skills up to date.
First Aider Self Assessment Tool on LEARN
In the workplace, in order to comply with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must ensure that there is adequate first aid cover in all work areas.
