First-Aid and Medical Attention

Within the construction phase plan there should be management arrangements detailed in regard to regulation 36, first aid and medical attention. The relevant contractor must ensure that there are arrangements for first aid to be available when construction work is being undertaken under the project, being first aid that:-

• is adequate for the initial treatment of any foreseeable injuries and illnesses that may arise on the relevant construction site
• includes the provision of trained personnel where this is appropriate

All persons on site should be made aware of the arrangements and any first-aid stations need to have clear signs.
