BackgroundBackgroundIn 2003 / 2004, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
conducted a review of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.

To help inform the review, HSE commissioned research and consulted with stakeholders including employers, employees, first aiders and first aid at work (FAW) training providers.
