People at work can suffer injury or sudden illness. It is important that employers have made arrangements to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. The Health & Safety Executive website provides information on all aspects of first aid at work and will be of interest to employers, employees, first aiders and training organisations across all industry sectors.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed. Detailed information can be found in the Approved Code of Practice and Guidance>> First aid at work. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 L74.

Business Link advises as follows People may suffer injury or illness while at work. It doesn't matter whether this is caused by work or not. What is important is that you've made arrangements to ensure that they receive immediate attention. The initial management of injuries and illness until expert medical attention is received could make the difference between life and death.

The Business Link guide defines the appropriate first aid provision that you should have, and clarifies the role of the first aider.

The Red Cross and St Johns Ambulance provide more information and advice together with education and training.

Ergonomic seating is playing an ever-important role with an increasing emphasis put on the health of the seated operator in the workplace. The HSE's national campaign to tackle back pain in the workplace, in partnership with Local Authorities, has increased awareness to the fact that more and more people suffer with back and posture problems. The chairs or stools they sit on at work can be a contributing factor to poor posture and bad backs which has resulted in Beautelle's saddle seating range becoming increasingly popular with employers.

A popular choice for today’s modern working environment and equally suitable for office/computer-related tasks; customer service & reception jobs; line assembly work; the medical field; laboratory workers & technicians.
