First Aid Responder

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 requires employers to have a sufficient number of First Aid Responders trained and deployed in the workplace. Employers must also provide first-aid materials/equipment at all places of work where working conditions require it.

The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) only recognises the Pre Hospital Emergency Care Council (PHECC) First Aid Response (FAR) training standard as meeting the needs of occupational first aid in workplaces.

The HSA have prepared Guidelines on First Aid at Places of Work as part of the Guide to the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations.
