World First Aid Day

This Saturday, the 10th of September 2022, is World First Aid Day and it highlights and spreads awareness of the importance of first aid.

Correct and up-to-date first aid skills and knowledge are vital for creating and maintaining a safe and healthy environment, both at work and at home. Equally as important is ensuring that you have the correct first aid supplies necessary to ensure you can respond effectively in an emergency.

Did you know it is a legal requirement to ‘provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work.’ This applies to all workplaces and the self-employed.
