An assessment of the first aid provisions should be made in the first instance. The number of trained first aiders differs depending on the number of employees, organisation activities and operational hours. Low risk environments such as offices the minimum would be required;- 

  • Fewer than 50 employed at any location - At least one Appointed Person trained to Emergency Fist Aid at Work. 

  • 50-100 employed at any location - At least one person trained to Fist Aid at Work. 

  • More than 100 employed at any location - One additional person trained to Fist Aid at Work for every 100 employed.

Covering first aiders duties during periods of absence (holidays, sickness, etc) from the workplace should be considered.
