Policy Statement

On all Imperial College campuses and sites, there are enough trained personnel, equipment, and information available to ensure that someone competent in basic first aid techniques can rapidly attend an incident during normal working hours or outside normal hours when a building is regularly occupied.
A FAW qualified first aider is always available during normal hours on each College campus or site to attend an incident beyond the competence of an EFAW-trained person.
Appropriate first aid arrangements based on risk assessment are made for staff and students engaged in fieldwork activities.
Local First Aid Needs Assessments include provision for Mental Health First Aid.

The First Aid policy is subject to the established College Health and Safety Management reporting structure.
