The regulations require that, in order to provide first aid to their employees who are injured or become ill while at work employers must have suitable people, equipment and facilities.
Regulation 3(2) says that: For this purpose a person shall not be suitable
unless they have undergone such training and has such qualifications as the HSE may approve and such additional training, if any may be appropriate in the circumstances.
A Health & Safety Executive First Aid at Work Training Organisation must carry out such training.
