First Aid Needs Assessment
Guidelines for renewable energy projects
These health and safety guidelines
provide basic information on how duty
holders can assess the provision of
adequate and appropriate equipment,
facilities and personnel to ensure
employees receive proper attention if they
are injured or taken ill at work. Its sets out
the key issues to take into account when
conducting a first aid needs assessment.
It does not prescribe specific equipment
or facilities. In addition it does not specify
any particular additional or advanced first
aid training requirements where this may
be relevant (although further information
on training based on HSE guidelines is
set out in Appendix I). Both these matters
are for duty holders to determine via the
risk assessment process. However the
guidance does set out an overview of
how these decisions might be taken into
account.
