Regardless of the type of workplace, accidents at work are common. Whether involving a tripping or slipping accident, a burn injury, cuts, injuries from falling or having something fall upon you, an injury from defective equipment, injuries from lifting, manual handling or strain injuries – the fact of the matter is, there are in infinite number of ways in which any of us could require first aid treatment whilst at work.
Accidents will happen!
In the West Midlands alone, there were an estimated 1,570 cases per 100,000 workers of non-fatal work related injuries sustained over the period 2019/20 (Source: Health & Safety Executive), many of which occurred in Stoke-on-Trent. Employers (including Local Education Authorities and school governing bodies) are responsible for ensuring, as far as is practicable, the health and safety of their employees whilst they’re at work, and students in the case of centres of learning.
Duty of care
Part of this responsibility is insuring you have adequate first aid provisions in place, including first aid training for select personnel. If this duty is neglected, any injuries sustained at work may be exacerbated, which is bad for the injured party, bad for you as the employer and bad for business.
