Your First Aiders Are - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to list the names and contact details of all trained first aiders in a specific workplace, building, or area. Unlike the singular version, this sign is particularly useful in larger organisations, multi-shift environments, or sites with multiple first aid-trained staff members. Its purpose is to make it clear who can provide immediate medical assistance in an emergency, giving employees and visitors multiple options for help if one first aider is unavailable. This redundancy can be critical in situations where time is of the essence.

The sign should be displayed in high-visibility locations where it can be easily seen by everyone on the premises. Common placement includes main entrances, reception areas, break rooms, notice boards, and next to first aid kits or medical stations. In larger facilities or those with different operational areas—such as factories, schools, construction sites, or warehouses—it’s best to have the sign in multiple locations, so people can quickly find the nearest available first aider without having to search across the building.

From a compliance perspective, displaying a “Your First Aiders Are” sign often aligns with workplace health and safety regulations. Many jurisdictions require that first aid provisions include not only having trained personnel on site but also making their details clearly visible. Keeping the list accurate and up to date is vital; outdated information could delay emergency care or cause unnecessary confusion during an incident.

Overall, the “Your First Aiders Are” sign plays a vital role in ensuring quick, organized, and effective responses to workplace injuries or illnesses. By clearly identifying all available first aiders, it improves safety coverage, reassures employees that help is always close by, and demonstrates the organisation’s commitment to protecting the health and wellbeing of everyone on site.
