If you are unsure of how many people to train and deploy as first aiders for your workplace or school, then don’t worry.

You can use our first aid requirements calculator to help you understand your specific requirements.  The calculator is a guide and doesn’t replace the need to conduct a full ‘first aid requirements risk assessment’.

We thrive on helping remove the stress of your legal responsibility to ensure there are suitable arrangements in place for all staff or visitors should someone become ill or injured.
