Description
Understand and meet your workplace first aid duties with confidence. This First Aid Needs Assessment Template is designed for UK-based office environments and low-to-medium risk workplaces. It helps assess and record what first aid provision is required under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
Perfect for office and facilities managers, HR leads, or consultants, this template walks you through the key areas to consider — from workplace layout and hazards, to staff numbers, working patterns, lone working, and mental health provision.
