This includes whether trained First Aiders are needed, what should be included in a First Aid box and if a First Aid room is required. In order to produce a Risk Assessment of First Aid Needs, consideration of workplace hazards and risks, the size of the organisation and other relevant factors need to be taken into account in order to determine what First Aid equipment, facilities and trained personnel should be provided.
