Aimed at all industries, this document sets out the aspects of first aid at work regulations that employers need to address in the workplace.

It provides guidance on:

  • managing the provision of first aid (first-aid kit, equipment, rooms etc)
  • requirements and training for first aiders
  • requirements for appointed persons
  • making employees aware of first-aid arrangements
  • first aid and the self employed
  • cases where first-aid regulations do not apply

This Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance is aimed at all industries, although guidance on first aid in mines, offshore and diving is covered in separate publications.
