Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981- review latest12/12/05Following the review of the First Aid Regulations, the HSE will not be seeking to make provision of first aid for the public a compulsory requirement for employers. In its guidance, HSE will continue to strongly recommend that employers should consider the public when conducting their first aid needs assessment and provide first aid for them. In Scotland, the Civic Government (Scotland Act) provides local authorities with a power to licence places of public entertainment. They could also make it a condition of a licence that suitable first aid facilities were readily available.
