Why should I do first aid?
As stated by the British Red Cross: Don’t Stop at 999
A study commissioned by the British Red Cross and conducted by the University of Manchester found that:
80% of Cardiac Arrests occur at the home. Up to 59 per cent of deaths from injury may have been prevented if first aid was given before the emergency medical services arrived. First aid was only attempted in around half of all cases (excluding where the person was found dead) despite someone being at the scene of the accident before the arrival of the emergency medical services 96 per cent of the time
Provisions to be considered for First Aid
Planned and unplanned absences of First Aiders
Members of the public who visit your workplace
Employees working at sites occupied by other employers
Workplaces remote from emergency medical services
