First Aiders Are (Space for 6) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Designed to list the names (with contact details / locations) of up to six trained first aiders within a workplace, school, or public facility. The main reason for using it is to make sure that, in the event of an emergency, people can immediately identify and contact someone qualified to provide first aid. This is especially important in larger organisations where multiple first aiders are needed to cover different shifts, floors, or departments. By having their names clearly posted, it removes uncertainty and ensures help can be found quickly.

This type of sign is also valuable for compliance with health and safety regulations. Many occupational safety laws require employers not only to have trained first aiders but also to make their identities easily known to all staff. A clearly displayed list ensures this requirement is met while also building awareness among employees of who to turn to for help. It can also give peace of mind to visitors or contractors who may not know the staff personally but can refer to the sign to locate trained aid quickly.

Where to use it: The sign should be displayed in high-visibility, high-traffic locations where employees and visitors can easily see it without having to search. Typical placements include building entrances, reception areas, staff break rooms, near first aid kits, and in central corridors. In large facilities or multi-floor buildings, one should be placed in each department or key area so the information is accessible from anywhere. The sign should be positioned at eye level and kept up to date whenever staff changes occur.

In short, the "First Aiders Are (Space for 6)" sign serves both a practical and regulatory role: it tells people exactly who their trained responders are and where to find them, and it helps meet workplace safety standards. When combined with good signage to first aid locations, proper equipment, and regular training, it forms a crucial link in a quick and effective emergency response chain.
