Suggested numbers of first-aid personnel to be available
at all times that employees are at work. This is
based on an assessment of risk and
on the numbers at work. Where there are special
circumstances, such as remoteness from emergency
medical services, shift work or sites
with several separate buildings then there may be
a need for more first-aid personnel than those set
out below.
Increased provision will be necessary to cover for
absences
