It is the employers’ responsibility to ensure that employees receive immediate attention if they are taken ill or injured at work.

As a minimum all employers must have an appointed individual to take charge of first aid arrangements; dependent upon the Health and Safety risks within the workplace it might be a requirement for the business to have appropriately trained first aiders.

First aid training will ensure that not only does your business meet legal requirements, but also that your employees feel confident to deal with potential first aid situations.

The Ibis Hotel has been trading since May 2000 and several staff have enrolled on the First Aid course this year.

Sarah Clarke, General Manager at the hotel, said:“The First Aid training for us was a convenient opportunity to train a small number of staff on an ad hoc basis.

“I have found Leicester College and its employees to be professional, helpful and efficient, and I would have no hesitation in using their services in the future.”
