Regulation Update: Health and Safety First Aid Regulations

After changes to the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, which came into force on 1 October 2013, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) no longer needs to approve first aid courses. This allows training providers to give business-specific first aid training, however standards will still have to be met and enforced by the Executive.
Be aware that the HSE will still approve courses that need to comply with the Offshore Installations and Pipeline Works (first aid) Regulations 1989.
