Posted By Andrew Böber Quick query the ACOP for employees is 1-50 (taking into account shifts, sickness, leave) but what standards apply to numbers given to the public. I know the HSE Event’s Guide recommends 1-1000, but is there anything supported by actually regulation?? All I can think is argue the MSHAW 99 premise. Andrew

Posted By Descarte Is this for an event? As there are standards set out in "A guide to organising safe events" Page 7 First Aid • The first aid provision needs to be suitable for the number of people expected to attend and for the type of event. • Make sure that the basic services for first aid are always available. At smaller events, i.e., indoor markets/jumble sales, etc, a qualified first aider should be present and an area suitable for first aid treatment, including a supply of water, be available. • A voluntary first aid society can be asked to provide a First Aid Post, staffed by qualified first-aiders. The following gives a guide to the minimum provisions : Number of people attending Number of first aiders Number of first aid posts Ambulances 500 - 2 - 1 - 3,000 - 6 - 1 - 1 5,000 - 8 - 1 - 1 10,000 - 13 - 2 - 2 Further advice can be found in the "Guide to Health, Safety and Welfare at Pop Concerts and Similar Events"
