introduction - First Aid at work Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire

---

 HSE cannot tell you what First Aid Training provisions you should make. You, as an employer, are best placed to understand the exact nature of your workplace and decide what you need to provide.

First aid provision must be ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’. This means that you must provide sufficient first aid equipment (first aid kit), facilities and personnel at all times.

In order to decide what type of educational service you need,  make sure you undertake a first-aid needs assessment. This assessment should consider the circumstances of your workplace, workforce and the hazards and risks that may be present. The findings will help you decide what first-aid arrangements you need to put in place.

We can provide assistance with your first aid requirements, throughout Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire.

Mental health is a critical aspect of our overall well-being, influencing our emotional, psychological, and social state. It shapes how we think, feel, and act, impacting our response to stress, relationships, and decision-making. Unfortunately, there is still a pervasive lack of awareness and consideration surrounding mental health issues. 

 We can all take positive steps to improve our own mental health and the mental health of others.

We are now advocating that mental health first aid is deemed just as important as it’s vital we take care of the whole employee and not just the physical problems at hand.

The HSE (Health & Safety Executive) has also stated that employers now need to consider making provision to cover mental health first aid training, alongside physical first aid at work training.

There are 3 levels of courses for you to consider for you and your team.
