On the 9th May 2020 the Government launched the Return to Work Protocal, as part of it’s plans for reopening the economy

 

Within the protocol it states:

​

“In the event that first aid is required in the workplace it may not be possible to maintain a distance of 2 metres. Workers with a specific role in acting as first responders should be provided with updated training on infection prevention and control principles including performance of hand hygiene and appropriate use of personal protective equipment when delivering first aid.”

​
