First Aid Awareness FAQs

What steps are involved in making a workplace safer?

Making your workplace safer can involve training, raising awareness regarding potential risks and installing safety equipment on site. Any workplace injury must be addressed no matter how minor. The types of injury will vary depending upon the environment and in particular the industry but common ones include; fractures, cuts, burns and bleeding as well as pulled muscles. Any incident within the workplace must be logged and reported following the legislation set out by the Health & Safety Executive body for the UK. Known as the "Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations" or (RIDDOR), the HSE have set out a guide to employees and employers regarding their responsibilities for any accident that occurs as a direct result of activity in the workplace.

Do you need to keep records of accidents at work?

One of the most important parts of first aid in the workplace is record keeping. In fact, it can be just as crucial as sending staff members on a first aid training course or ensuring that first aid kits are fully stocked. This is because proper record keeping allows a business or organisation to manage health and safety risks in the future. Using the information noted down in a workplace incident book, business owners can monitor how medical emergencies are dealt with and what improvements are needed, such as giving more staff members first aid training.

An incident book can also help when conducting health and safety risk assessments, giving vital information that can help businesses to identify trends and remove or reduce hazards that may lead to medical emergencies.

What do you record in an incident book?

To ensure you are adhering to good practice with regards to first aid record keeping, ensure your business has an incident book for illness and injury. Each entry into this book should include:

  • The name and position of the ill or injured person
  • The name and signature of the person dealing with the incident (i.e. the designated first aider)
  • The date, time and place the incident occurred
  • What happened during the incident, whether first aid was given and what happened afterwards (i.e. the person went to the hospital).

Course Syllabus:

  • Introduction
  • Safe handling of unconscious people
  • Calmly assessing situations
  • Treatment of shock
  • Heart attacks
  • Burns
  • Choking
  • Fractures
  • CPR and the recovery position
