Sample questions
01Which piece of legislation sets out the legal requirements for first aid provision in the workplace?
- AThe Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- BThe Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- CThe Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
- DThe Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981
Why: The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 specifically require employers to provide adequate and appropriate first aid equipment, facilities, and personnel. While the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 provides the overarching framework, the 1981 Regulations deal exclusively with first aid duties.
02What is the standard validity period of a First Aid at Work (FAW) certificate?
- A2 years
- B1 year
- C3 years
- D5 years
Why: A First Aid at Work certificate is valid for three years from the date of issue. Before the certificate expires, the holder must undertake a requalification course to maintain their status. Employers should monitor expiry dates and arrange retraining well in advance.
03What colour combination is used on standard first aid signage in the UK?
- AWhite cross on a green background
- BGreen cross on a white background
- CWhite cross on a blue background
- DRed cross on a white background
Why: UK first aid signage uses a white cross on a green background, in accordance with the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996. This colour scheme is internationally recognised under ISO 7010. The red cross symbol is protected by the Geneva Conventions and must not be used for general first aid signage.
