As an NHS trainer and independent training business owner with over 16 years of experience delivering first aid qualifications and having trained thousands of individuals and organisations over nearly two decades, I can confidently say that investing in proper first aid qualifications is one of the most valuable decisions you'll make for workplace safety and personal capability. This is not only due to it being a legal requirement under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regul

Health and safety training is legally required under UK law and essential for workplace protection. Mandatory training includes fire safety, manual handling, and first aid, with programmes available across Scotland through accredited providers like Nags Training Solutions, NEBOSH, and IOSH, proper training reduces accidents by 40% and ensures legal compliance.
