Do I Need First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work?
How many first aiders are needed?
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers 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.
What is ‘adequate and appropriate’ will depend on the circumstances in the workplace.
LOWER RISK LOCATIONS
e.g. Shops, offices etc.Fewer than 25 employees:
At least 1 Appointed Person**
25 – 50 employees:
At least 1 Emergency First Aider (1-day EFAW)
More than 50 employees:
1 First Aider (FAW) At least one per 100 employees or part thereof
HIGHER RISK LOCATIONS
e.g. Engineering & assembly, food processing, warehousing, work with machinery etc.*
Fewer than 5 employees:
At least 1 Appointed Person**
25 – 50 employees:
At least 1 First Aider (EFAW or FAW)***

* Additional training may be needed for First Aiders to
deal with injuries resulting from special hazards.
** Where First Aiders are shown to be unnecessary, there is still a possibility of an accident or sudden illness, so you should consider providing qualified First Aiders
*** The type of injuries that might arise in working with those hazards identified, will influence whether the First Aider should be trained in FAW or EFAW
