  4. Why a First Aid code? The STFC has a duty to ensure staff receive immediate First Aid if they are injured or taken ill at work irrespective of cause. First Aid can save lives, for example in the event of heart attack, and can prevent minor injuries becoming more serious. This code addresses the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.

Key features • Establishes requirement for First Aid cover at all STFC sites and where STFC staff work non STFC sites; • Encompasses the provision of First Aid by contractors working at, and tenants on, STFC sites; • Ensures provision of sufficient numbers of qualified First Aiders across sites to provide first aid cover; • Outlines the provision of HSE Approved ‘First Aid at Work’ training, and Defibrillator and oxygen training for First Aiders; • Guidance provided on first aid hardware needs for: first aid bags/boxes and treatment rooms; and the transport of injured parties to hospital’; and • Addresses the recording and reporting First Aid treatment provided.
