What is a First Aid Needs Assessment?

A first aid needs assessment refers to the process of identifying the hazards and potential injuries that may occur in your workplace which will enable you to decide what precautions need to be put into place.

You should always be prepared for an accident in the workplace by having sufficient first aid provisions.
This includes the correct equipment (first aid kit), facilities and personnel so that any injuries can be dealt with quickly and correctly before they become more severe, or even life-threatening.
Not only will it put your mind at ease, but your employees will feel a whole lot safer knowing that there is a trained first aider and the appropriate amenities to deal with an accident at work.
