What the law says
The Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations 1981 states:-
“An employer shall provide or ensure that there are provided such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work”
