Employer Responsibilities

OHS Regulation 2001 sets out specific first aid requirements for certain types of workplaces. However every workplace has a legal responsibility for ensuring adequate first aid provisions.

First aid provides the initial and immediate attention to a person suffering from injury or illness.In extreme cases, a quick first aid response could mean the difference between life and death. In many cases, first aid can reduce the severity of the injury or illness.

A quick and competent first aid response also calms the injured person, reducing the unnecessary stress and anxiety.

Employers have legal responsibilities for ensuring adequate first aid provisions for employees. In addition, Section 8 (2) of the OHS Act requires that all persons in a workplace other than employees are not exposed to risks.
