“Employers have a duty to provide first-aid materials / equipment at all places of work where working conditions require it. Depending on the size and/or specific hazards of the workplace, trained Occupational First Aiders must also be provided.”

 

An “occupational first aider” is defined in the Regulations as a person trained and qualified in occupational first aid.

 

Organisations or individuals on the Register of Occupational First Aid Training Providers can only provide such training. This Register is maintained on behalf of the Health and Safety Authority by the Occupational First Aid Assessment Agent (OFAAA).
