Halloween is a time for fun, costumes, and celebration, but it’s also a night when accidents and injuries are more likely to happen. Whether you’re out trick-or-treating with children or hosting a party, it’s important to be prepared for common injuries that can occur.

Knowing some basic first aid can make all the difference in preventing a minor accident from becoming a more serious issue. Here’s a guide to help you handle common Halloween injuries with confidence.

Introducing first aid policies to your business not only helps protect your team and reputation, but it is also necessary to follow UK law.

Guidance provided from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) can be confusing, so Imperative Training have put together a brief article on everything you need to know to protect your business.

The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 requires all 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.

Accidents can happen at any time within the workplace and first aid can save lives and prevent minor injuries from becoming major ones.

Every workplace has its own hazards, whether they are physical like trips and falls, or chemical hazards – both of which can cause serious harm to employees. No matter which hazards your workplace faces, there is a legal responsibility as an employer to protect employees and put their safety first.
