No first aider

[pod25]

YES YOU DID.

Please do not in any circumstances resort to name calling or behaviour that could be deemed as bullying or harassment.

This is an official warning don't do it again, its not debate, its not welcome and it is against the rules. If you disagree then make a cogent argument, don't try to get round the rules.

Oh dear, I thought forums were designed for asking questions

Its not a legal requirement, but it is a H&S requirement to have a first aider for every 25 people (it could be every 30, can't remember)
As for the H&S rep, in no one wants to do it, not much you can say about it.
And for a fire officer, never known that before ?

Fire officer is usually the dom

As for first aiders that requirement of 1 is actually a requirement of 3, as the first aider has a day off you need someone to cover that and when first aider is on holiday the first aid cover also has a day off so need a third to cover that. There's lots of offices up and down the country who just tick the box and say we have a first aider but actually when you look into it there's shifts with no cover

So would you expect a first aider in each shared van ?
And do you always have a first aider at home ?

No to both of those. But the office does need at least 3 first aiders to cover every shift under hse requirements

I and most of my colleagues have a good enough idea of preserving life, preventing the worsening of the patient’s condition and promoting recovery .
Qualified first aiders don't have a monopoly on such common sense.

You may well do but the op is asking about the rules on the need to have first aiders I was just pointing out the facts

Has anyone ever told you that you are an idiot ?

And have you ever read the guidelines and rules that apply to users of this forum ?

Have you done so yourself? You were making racist comments and then joking about them a few days ago yourself

No, never have I made a racist comment on this forum.
but if you choose to interpret my positive attitude towards a disposition to a wise habit as a negative criticism of a 'race' then that's your prerogative.

Actually you made 2 racist comments then tried to joke about it, as you are doing yet again, generalising any race of people like that is a racist comment it's exactly the same as what balotelli did on twitter

Also if there was nothing wrong with the comments then why did they get deleted?

Hmmm, regards the OP question. It is a legal requirement.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with less than five employees and to the self-employed.

With motorists in America being wealthier and having bigger cars I might comment that petrol is more precious in Britain than the US, but if you considered my previous comment racist then you will somehow consider the equivalent comment that that 'petrol is more precious in Britain' as racist.
I do not know why my original comment was deleted.

Soley making a comment that money is more precious to a particular race of people is blatantly racist, then using a offence slang term in a later post to describe that race is even more racist

You have not answered my question.
My comment was intended as a favourable one and will have been noted as such by those who not only celebrate diversity but also respect traditional values and lament the excesses all too common in many twenty-first century societies.
If you choose to interpret my remark differently that’s unfortunate but in no way was I being racist.
As for “a offence slang term” (sic) I have no idea what you mean as I don’t believe I’ve ever used such language on this forum or elsewhere.

I am not going to get into a debate with a racist like you. Your comments were racists and you made jokes about them. I suggest you read up a little about respecting other people and cultures. I have no interest in discussing it further with you

And I have no interest in discussing it further with you since we aren't going to agree.
I know what my original post was, know that it was made with good intent and do not accept it was racist.
As for “a offence slang term” and "jokes" I repeat that I have no idea what you mean as my two subsequent comments were neither offensive nor jokes.
Maybe a moderator can comment about the accusations being made against me.
