4 Health and Safety Executive (HSE) legislation guide It is the employer s legal duty to ensure that if a member of staff takes ill or is injured at work, immediate care and attention is provided. The Health and Safety First Aid Regulations 1981, as amended in 2013, detail the responsibilities and provisions that employers have regarding first aid in the workplace. Needs assessment Employers should carry out a first aid needs assessment taking into account potential hazards and risks within the workplace. The following points should be considered when conducting a first aid needs assessment: The nature of the work, workplace hazards and risks. The nature of the workforce. The organisation s history of accidents. The size of the organisation. The needs of travelling, remote and lone workers. Work patterns. The distribution of the workforce. The remoteness of the site from emergency medical services. Employees working in shared or multioccupied sites. Annual leave and other absences of First Aiders and appointed persons. First aid provision for non-employees. A free-to-use online calculator is available on our website at This calculator will guide you through your workplace first aid needs assessment and detail your requirements. Due diligence The amendment to The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations means that HSE no longer approves training providers to deliver workplace first aid qualifications. It is now an employer s responsibility to carry out a first aid needs assessment as well as a due diligence check to ensure that a training provider meets all quality assurance requirements. This due diligence exercise requires you to show that the chosen training provider have: The qualifications expected of Trainers and Assessors Monitoring and quality assurance systems Syllabus content Certification St Andrew s First Aid Training and Supplies Ltd is cited as a standard setter in first aid by the HSE. By training with us you are ensuring that your First Aiders are trained to the highest standard. Additional training After undertaking a first aid needs assessment, there may be a requirement for additional training or equipment to provide support to employees who have underlying health conditions e.g. a peanut allergy. Sending an employee onto an Anaphylaxis Awareness course will give them the extra knowledge required to provide immediate assistance to a colleague should they suffer an anaphylactic reaction and also to advise on preventative measures to colleagues. There may also be employees who come into the in the at risk category for heart problems due to age or underlying conditions such as high blood pressure. Each of our first aid courses contain a familiarisation session with an AED which includes: What is an AED? How to attach AED pads to a casualty How to follow AED prompts With ambulance response times averaging five and a half minutes, every second counts when it comes to resuscitating someone who has had a cardiac arrest. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) enhance the chances of survival by up to 70% if used within three minutes of a cardiac arrest. More employers are becoming aware of the benefits of having these life-saving machines readily available within their workplace. 7 8

15 Workplace training courses The importance of having a defibrillator Defibrillators in the workplace Installing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the workplace helps to protect your workforce as well as members of the public visiting your business premises. No barriers should be put in the way of anyone using an AED when it is needed. In the workplace, it is important that all employees know where the device is located and know how to raise the alarm in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest. Defibrillators in schools Having defibrillators on school premises cannot only save a life, but can educate pupils and staff on the importance of first aid and how to use a defibrillator. By preparing young people to deal with a cardiac arrest and use an AED, it can help to increase survival rates for those who suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Defibrillators in sports clubs and local communities Although exercise is great for your overall heart health, those who are fit and healthy are just as likely to suffer from a cardiac arrest as someone who does no exercise. Strenuous activity or a blow to the chest can trigger a cardiac arrest making it equally as important to have AEDs within sports clubs as it would be any other location. Having a defibrillator within local communities helps to improve the chance of survival of those around you, as the first few minutes after a cardiac arrest are vital which is often before an ambulance will arrive. Many defibrillators have an eight year warranty meaning that a defibrillator could cost you as little as 28 pence per day.

16 Saving a life can be easier than you think Self-monitoring means you re emergency ready AEDs are effective only if they are close at hand and ready to work. Whether you have one AED or 100, now you can know the readiness status and location of each one. Ongoing system maintenance has been time-consuming and error-prone until now. The LIFELINKcentral AED Program Manager monitors each CR2 connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network and alerts you to anything that may affect device readiness all automatically. Battery not charged? AED not where it s supposed to be? You ll receive an alert through the LIFELINKcentral program manager, helping to greatly reduce the effort and expense of managing your AED program, while increasing your program s readiness and effectiveness. Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death globally with around 350,000 victims in Europe each year. AEDs can help save many of those lives however the mere installation of lifesaving devices is not enough. An AED Program needs to be in place to ensure the readiness of devices and staff members, together with the easy connection with the local ambulance service

31 Automatic External Defibrillators Do you have a life-saving Automated External Defibrillator? (AED) A defibrillator is a device that gives a high energy electric shock to the heart through the chest wall to someone who is in cardiac arrest. Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are safe to use by anyone trained or untrained and will not allow a shock to be delivered to a casualty unless required. A sudden cardiac arrest is a medical emergency, occurring when someone s heart stops pumping blood around the body, they stop breathing and become unresponsive. Unless emergency treatment is provided quickly, the chance of survival decreases rapidly. Over 3,500 people in Scotland each year are treated by the Ambulance Service for an out of hospital cardiac arrest. This is equal to 70 people per week. The median response time in Scotland for a cardiac related (Immediately Life Threatening) 999 call is currently 5.44 minutes. Is your organisation prepared? We sell a range of different defibrillators from the world s top suppliers, catering for all price points. Our sales team are trained to advise you on which device is most suitable for your needs. They can be contacted by calling or ing sales@firstaid.org.uk Our workplace first aid training courses provide all candidates with a general overview of how an AED operates. We also offer a 3 hour AED training course designed for those who wish to gain a greater understanding of how to use an AED which can be found in many public areas and workplaces.
