More than just a legal requirement
September 9th 2010

Each year, up to 150,000* people – some of them at work – die in situations where first aid could have given them a chance to live

Six million work days are lost each year due to injuries within the workplace, costing UK business billions of pounds

Up to 175,000 people attend A&E departments for treatment to burns received in the workplace every year.
