If you run a business in Warrington, first aid probably is not the first thing on your mind. But under UK law, every employer has a duty to provide adequate first aid arrangements for their employees, and that applies to every type of business.
We are PCT Services, and we deliver accredited first aid training to businesses across Warrington and Cheshire from our training hub in Northwich. We work with all sorts of local businesses, from nurseries and schools to mechanics, pubs, shops, care homes, and offices.
Do offices really need first aid training?
Yes. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 apply to every workplace in the UK. Think about what can happen in any workplace. A customer could collapse in your shop. A client could have a severe allergic reaction in your salon. Someone could slip on a wet floor. These things happen every day.
Warrington is full of businesses where this applies. Care homes, GP surgeries, dental practices, nurseries, schools, hairdressers, garages, pubs, restaurants, and independent shops. Then there are the larger employers around Birchwood Park, Omega, and Daresbury.
What does the law require?
Every employer needs to carry out a first aid needs assessment. For most smaller businesses, having at least one person trained in Emergency First Aid at Work makes a real difference. For businesses with higher risks, like care homes, garages, or larger workplaces, the full three day First Aid at Work course is recommended.
