The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 apply to workplaces in the UK, including those with less than five employees, and to the self-employed.

The Wilderness First Aid Handbook is a handy, quick-reference guide easily accessible with basic wilderness first aid knowledge, but it does not require advanced degrees or experience with medicine and prehospital care. Recognizing that certain knowledge and procedures are outside the scope of a layperson’s training, Dr. Grant Lipman limits the use of technical terms and advanced techniques that may be unfamiliar to some readers or beyond their comfort zone. This system-based, easy-to-follow guide assists the first aid provider when encountering most wilderness emergencies, from cold and heat concerns and blister treatments to high altitude illness and lightning injury prevention—and much more. Typically the most challenging decision in the wilderness environment is when to evacuate a sick or potentially sick person, and as such, each section has detailed decision-making steps to inform you of when to be concerned and when to get out. This guidance is based upon the recent evidence-based consensus statement published by the Wilderness Medical Society on the scope of practice of wilderness first aid. Filled with original, full-color artwork illustrating the techniques and procedures described and with internal-spiral binding and waterproof pages handy for travel into extreme environments, The Wilderness First Aid Handbook is a must-have for every back pocket or backpack.

This guide shows how first aid may be organized in the workplace, with special emphasis on small enterprises. It also provides information on the duties and training of first-aid personnel, the necessary equipment, supplies and facilities.; The book also looks at the arrangements required beyond first aid for accidents demanding specialized medical care.

OSHA 3317-06N. First aid is emergency care provided for injury or sudden illness before emergency medical treatment is available. The first-aid provider in the workplace is someone who is trained in the delivery of initial medical emergency procedures, using a limited amount of equipment to perform a primary assessment and intervention while awaiting arrival of emergency medical service (EMS) personnel. A workplace first-aid program is part of a comprehensive safety and health management system that includes the following four essential elements: management leadership and employee involvement, worksite analysis, hazard prevention and control, safety and training. The purpose of this guide, Best Practices Guide: Fundamentals of a Workplace First-Aid Program, is to present a summary of the basic elements for a first-aid program at the workplace. Those elements include: identifying and assessing the workplace risks that have potential to cause worker injury or illness; designing and implementing a workplace first-aid program that: aim to minimize the outcome of accidents or exposures; complies with OSHA requirements relating to first aid; includes sufficient quantities of appropriate and readily accessible first-aid supplies and first-aid equipment, such as bandages and automated external defibrillators; assigns and trains first-aid providers who: receive first-aid training suitable to the specific workplace, receive periodic refresher courses on first-aid skills and knowledge; instructing all workers about the first-aid program, including what workers should do if a coworker is injured or ill. Putting the policies and program in writing is recommended to implement this and other program elements; and providing for scheduled evaluation and changing of the first-aid program to keep the program current and applicable to emerging risks in the workplace, including regular assessment of the adequacy of the first-aid training course. This guide includes an outline of the essential elements of safe and effective first-aid training for the workplace as guidance to institutions teaching first-aid courses and to the consumer of these courses.
