First Aid Guides

As an employer or business manager, you have a responsibility to ensure there are adequate first aid measures available at the workplace, and part of that will be the delivery of first aid training and information. At Seton, we offer a selection of first aid training guides and resources, which can help with the implementation of a workplace first aid policy – helping to deliver first aid training to workers and to keep staff informed of first aid practices to be followed. Choose from our selection of first aid manuals, first aid booklets and first aid training tools to ensure all your workers are fully informed.

We also stock a diverse range of first aid posters designed to be placed at strategic points around the office, canteen, warehouse or any other area where first aid support is required or will be beneficial to your workforce. With wallcharts and step-by-step instructional posters, you can equip employees and members of the public with the advice and tools to engage in accurate first aid support.

Workplace First Aid Training


At Seton, we work with your business to help minimise the risk of potential accidents or injuries within the workplace, providing targeted health and safety resources for the benefit of your business and workers. However, even with full safety training and workplace safety provisions in place, accidents will occasionally happen. When they do, it is important to ensure that your staff are fully prepared to deal with them and able to easily deliver the necessary initial care.

Business owners and management should always ensure that they familiarise themselves with the relevant first aid regulations for their operation before outlining any first aid policy and recommended practices for their workplace. Once this has been done, managers and owners may wish to refer to our comprehensive range of first aid tools to ensure that their workspaces and their workers are fully equipped to deal with any emergency, as and when it may arise.

One of the many areas where we at Seton can help with first aid at work preparation, is with the supply of first aid training guides and other first aid literature to support the first aid plan within the workplace by trained volunteers and members of staff.
We provide businesses with a selection of health and safety literature covering first aid methods at work. It can be used in staff training programmes as it includes packs of training booklets outlining the facts about how workplace injuries and accidents should be dealt with while professional help is awaited.

Posters making first aid tips clear

A well-placed first aid poster – or an at-a-glance wallchart with emergency information on it – is a vital part of your workplace health and safety strategy.

Having clear and comprehensive first aid procedures keeps your organisation compliant. Keeping a first aid manual handy is an excellent way to create important information resources for your appointed first aiders, or to remind your entire workforce about your first aid procedures.
However, posting information around your workplace or public building in plain sight will still be vital. This is because a well-placed first aid poster will make it possible for someone to render first aid swiftly and confidently. This is especially true in a high-pressure situation, where a first aider or some other member of staff can refer to succinct guidance on a nearby first aid poster.

Having first aid guide information prominently displayed will also be the best way to minimise the risk of someone with an injury not receiving the correct attention. It may also reduce the business interruption that results from a workplace accident. For example, a strategically placed electric shock first aid poster near to major pieces of equipment or junction boxes is an immediate and easy-to-follow guide to the proper response. Or, a first aid poster for eyes, placed next to eye wash stations, can help employees use first aid equipment effectively and in an assured manner.

Workplace first aid manuals can provide a helpful reference for designated first aiders when dealing with a workplace illness or injury, offering your first responders easily accessible information on a range of conditions and providing them with systematic advice of how to deal with incidents in the workplace. We can also provide businesses with a selection of health and safety literature covering first aid methods at work. It can be used in staff training programmes as it includes packs of training booklets outlining the facts about how workplace injuries and accidents should be dealt with while professional help is awaited.

Our first aid at work health and safety training booklets offer easily understandable information on first aid procedures within the workplace, how to access and deliver emergency care in the event of an illness or injury, and what workers can expect from their employer should first aid issues arise.

First aid guide checklist

You may be wondering which first aid poster you need to manage potential risks at your workplace or public building. This will vary according to your business operations, and the outcomes of your risk assessment. However, every workplace should have a general first aid poster somewhere, to deliver first aid tips to tackle common incidents and accidents.
If you have regular visitors to your workplace – such as a hospitality or tourism venue – then you may well have installed a defibrillator and have first aiders trained in spotting cardiac events. In that case, a first aid poster that sums up heart attack symptoms and a proper response would certainly be on your list of ‘must-have’ safety posters.

Are you buying first aid guide materials for schools, colleges or other buildings where children gather? If so, then a first aid poster detailing how to respond to children’s accidents is crucial. You can’t play it ‘too safe’, so following on from your thorough site assessment, purchasing first aid posters that deal with every possible risk – from burns in your kitchen to chemical spills in your cleaning stores – makes perfect sense.
Putting first aid guides in staff only areas can also be a valuable measure. It gives them a way to revise proper procedures, and is a resource they can use when preparing incident reports, for example.

Things to consider with a first aid poster

Sourcing first aid posters to reinforce the messages in your first aid guide and procedures is not just about printed information and universally recognisable illustrations. It is important that your first aid poster combines value for money with being well designed and durable. This ensures that your safety messaging doesn’t look half-hearted, or quickly gets damaged.

Once you buy quality first aid posters and put them in strategic places, it is highly recommended to schedule regular checks to make sure that they haven’t been obscured, removed, ripped or defaced. Remember, the main advantage of posters displaying first aid tips is that they are at-a-glance sources of vital response information.
The training tools use both visual and verbal explanations to communicate the first aid message to employees during training. Booklets are available in illustrated or photographic versions, with images and illustrations carefully selected to help communicate the first aid message to the workforce.

To support the delivery of first aid training within your organisation, Seton also offer a wide range of tools for the delivery of first aid at work, including first aid supplies and first aid signage.
