First Aid

If immediate medical attention is required:

telephone 999 and request an ambulance to campus, then immediately inform the University Security team on ext: 3333 from an internal telephone or 01273 873333 from a mobile or external phone.  Security can then meet the ambulance at the Knights Gate Road entrance to campus and guide them directly to the relevant location otherwise emergency vehicles can get lost on campus and this may delay their response.

First Aid Needs Assessment

The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require the University as an employer to ensure appropriate first aid arrangements are made for our workplace, including equipment, facilities and personnel. 

The ÑÇÖÞÇéÉ«’s facilities require varied first aid provision dependent on building occupancy’s, activity risk level and facility size/ complexity (the details of each University workplace are determined by the First Aid Needs Assessment conducted by the Health and Safety Team).

 For further information, including the detailed First Aid Needs Assessment, refer to documents below:

• HS P022 First Aid Policy
• HS C405-2 First Aid Safety Code of Practice

Staff can utilise the First Aid Needs Assessment webpages where extra first aid provision has been identified.
