It emphasizes the importance of competence and knowledge for individuals undertaking these assessments, particularly concerning buildings, staff demographics, potential hazards, and operational arrangements. The responsibility for ensuring assessment personnel are qualified lies with each Head of Department/School/Director. For departments operating in multiple buildings, separate assessments are mandated for each location. The document directs users to the University Standard for First Aid before commencing the assessment. It further details the determination of necessary first aid provisions, including guidance on the suggested number of first aid personnel required at all times. Users are advised to consult the First Aid Standard for specific syllabus information on Appointed Persons (AP), Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), and First Aid at Work (FAW). Crucially, the HSE strongly recommends that first aid arrangements also consider the needs of non-employees present on site. The document instructs users to utilize the guidance provided in Section 2 and the table in Section 3 to ascertain workplace first aid requirements. It also suggests considering shared first aid resources for buildings or floors co-occupied by departments with similar hazard profiles.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":36,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/forms/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/first-aid-needs-assessment/174714/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/first-aid-needs-assessment/174714.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Himbo","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document","2026-10-23","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":15},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"Who is responsible for ensuring staff conducting a First Aid Needs Assessment are competent?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"It is the responsibility of each Head of Department/School/Director to ensure that staff conducting such an assessment are competent to do so.","Answer",{"name":111,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":112},"When should separate first aid needs assessments be conducted?",{"text":113,"@type":109},"Where a department has staff based in more than one building, a separate assessment should be conducted for each location.",{"name":115,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What guidance should be used to determine first aid requirements?",{"text":117,"@type":109},"Users should utilize the guidance in Section 2 and the table in Section 3 to determine their First Aid requirements in the workplace.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":120,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":122,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":124,"site_id":56},174714,1790174452,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":127},{"doc_id":124,"user_id":128,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":129,"doc_module":9,"category_id":35,"category_name":36,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":130,"file_id":131,"file_url":132,"file_type":133,"file_size":134,"view_count":15,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":135,"language":136,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":137,"faqs":138,"seo_title":139,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":140,"read_time":73},687197100911,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/a000239b6f1da00475?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1785132997149421697","Health & Safety Services\nFirst Aid Needs Assessment\nPersons who undertake a First Aid Needs Assessment must have a level of competence and knowledge of the buildings/premises, staff demographic, likely hazards, and working arrangements within their department.
