HSE has made recent updates to 2 publications on first aid at work:
* First aid at work: Guidance on regulations [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/l74.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=first-aid-1&utm_content=digest-15-feb-24 ]
This publication sets out what you need to do to address first aid provision in the workplace. The updates include emphasising employers’ responsibilities to take account of employees’ mental health in their first aid needs assessment.
* Selecting a first aid training provider: A guide for employers [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/geis3.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=first-aid-2&utm_content=digest-15-feb-24 ]
This guidance helps you identify and select a competent training provider to deliver your first aid training needs. It has been updated to simplify what employers should consider when selecting a training provider.
The updates do not change what is required to comply with the law.

The poster explains British health and safety laws and lists what workers and their employers should do.
If you employ anyone, you must either:
* display the health and safety law poster where your workers can easily read it
* provide each worker with the equivalent health and safety law leaflet
You must display the poster where your workers can easily read it and you can’t print a copy yourself. You can:
* order HSE approved versions of the poster [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/lawposter.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=guidance-push&utm_term=law-poster-1&utm_content=digest-15-feb-24 ]

*HSE’s ‘Asbestos – Your Duty’ campaign targets those responsible for managing asbestos in buildings (dutyholders). *
To support dutyholders, we recently updated our webpages for the duty to manage asbestos in buildings [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/duty/index.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=duty-to-manage&utm_term=dtm-1&utm_content=digest-15-feb-24 ]. This includes guidance on:
* what the legal duty is and the steps required to comply with the law
* who the dutyholder is, depending on the type of building etc, and what they must do
* new templates of an asbestos management plan and an asbestos register with a site plan
* examples of how asbestos can be managed across different industries
The campaign provides dutyholders with a range of resources*. *You can:
* download the asbestos management plan template [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/duty/asbestos-management-plan.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=duty-to-manage&utm_term=dtm-2&utm_content=digest-15-feb-24#keep ] and the asbestos register template [ https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/duty/register-and-assess-risk.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=duty-to-manage&utm_term=dtm-3&utm_content=digest-15-feb-24#templates ] for your buildings
