First aid during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

HSE recently revised their guidance on first aid requirements in non-healthcare settings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The guidance also deals with first aid cover and qualifications at this time.

You can find advice on:

• checking your first aid needs assessment

• how first aiders should treat casualties from a safe distance, minimise shared breathing zones, and wash hands thoroughly

• providing first aid cover during the pandemic, including shared first aid cover with other businesses
