Frequently Asked Questions

What is a construction first aid course?

A construction first aid course is a type of work course that provides individuals with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively to medical emergencies on construction sites. The course content covers a range of topics, including first aid procedures, injury management, and basic life support, and is designed to meet the needs of construction workers, contractors, and other staff members who may encounter casualties in the workplace.

They are also for anyone who needs certified first aid training, including administrative staff and skilled tradespeople.

What are the requirements for construction site first aid?

The duty holder for the project determines the first aid requirements for construction sites in accordance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981. These requirements vary depending on the site and project, but construction sites, in general, necessitate more qualified first responders due to their higher hazard classification.

How many qualified first responders are required?

The number of first responders required on a construction site is determined by the level of danger involved in the work. Working at different levels, in confined spaces, at height, or with hazardous substances necessitates more first aiders. In the event of a reportable or claimable accident, the duty holder must be able to justify their level of first aid coverage to the HSE Inspector and insurance company.

Depending on the type of injuries that may occur, projects with 5 to 50 workers should have at least one first aider with training in Emergency First Aid at Work or First Aid at Work. A First Aid at Work-qualified first aider must be provided for every 50 employees on projects with more than 50 workers.
