Your arrangements will depend on the outcome of your first-aid needs assessment and the particular circumstances in your workplace at any given time.

​

The findings of the needs assessment should indicate the level of first-aid equipment, facilities and personnel required.

​

As a minimum, you must have:

• a suitably stocked first-aid kit

• an appointed person to take charge of first-aid arrangements;

• information for all employees giving details of first-aid arrangements.

​

Where your needs assessment identifies workplace or workforce issues, or more significant health and safety risks, you are likely to need a sufficient number of appropriately trained first aiders and may need to arrange additional equipment and facilities.
