How many first aiders do you actually need?
Your first-aid provision comes from a needs assessment, not a guess. Put your numbers in and this gives you the starting point the HSE's guidance points to — then we will sanity-check it with you for free.
Anything else true of your workplace?
Indicative only. It follows the numbers in the HSE's first-aid needs assessment guidance and does not replace that assessment, or account for everything specific to your workplace — including the +F / Forestry requirement for chainsaw work. Read the HSE guidance, or ask us to help — we are happy to.
