Your requirements
In addition to the legal requirement to have a health and safety policy, you should have a first aid policy and carry out a first aid needs assessment to help inform that policy. Read more guidance about first aid provision.
If you prefer, you can include your first aid procedures in your health and safety policy, but you must make sure this is accessible and staff know where to find it.
