Do you have the right first aid and fire marshal cover for your workplace or school?

All employers are legally responsible to ensure that:

• there is appropriate first aid cover for staff and visitors in the event of an accident
• there are enough fire marshals for their workplace
• there is sufficient fire safety cover at all times.

It only takes a few details to find out which training and supplies are right for you, based on Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations.
