HSE legislation mandates that employers ensure the health and safety of their employees by providing adequate first aid training, including emergency first aid training. This training equips staff with the essential skills and knowledge to respond effectively to medical emergencies in the workplace, thus reducing the risk of serious injury or illness.

For employers, investing in emergency first aid training not only helps to create a safer work environment but also demonstrates a commitment to employee welfare, potentially improving morale and productivity. Additionally, being compliant with HSE regulations can mitigate legal liabilities and enhance the overall reputation of the organisation, fostering a culture of safety and responsibility.
