Course Overview
Workplace incidents remain a significant concern across the United Kingdom, with hundreds of thousands of work-related injuries reported annually. Under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR), organisations are legally required to report specific workplace incidents to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Failure to provide adequate first aid arrangements or to report incidents correctly can result in enforcement action, financial penalties, and reputational damage. Effective understanding of first aid requirements and RIDDOR obligations is therefore essential for maintaining compliance and protecting employee wellbeing.
This First Aid Requirements and RIDDOR Training course provides a clear understanding of workplace first aid principles, legal duties, and emergency response arrangements. Learners will explore appropriate first aid equipment, reporting thresholds under RIDDOR, and best practices for incident management and documentation. The programme supports responsible decision-making aligned with UK health and safety legislation.
By completing this course, participants strengthen their ability to manage incidents effectively, ensure legal compliance, and support a safer, well-prepared workplace environment.
