First Aiders Are (Space for 3) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to display the names, contact details and locations of three trained first aiders in a workplace, school, or public facility. Its main purpose is to ensure that in the event of an injury or sudden illness, people can immediately identify and reach someone qualified to provide first aid. This is particularly important in smaller organisations or departments where three trained first aiders are sufficient to cover different shifts or work areas, ensuring help is available at all times.

Using this type of sign also helps organisations meet health and safety requirements. Many regulations require that not only are trained first aiders available, but their identities are clearly communicated to everyone on-site. By posting the information in a visible and accessible format, employees, visitors, and contractors can quickly find the right person in an emergency without wasting valuable time. It also reassures everyone on-site that there is a prepared and designated point of contact for first aid.

Where to use it: The sign should be installed in a prominent location, such as at building entrances, in reception areas, staff break rooms, near first aid kits, and in main corridors. In smaller offices or departments, placing it near the main work area ensures maximum visibility. It’s important that the sign is displayed at eye level, uses clear lettering, and is updated immediately if there are changes in the designated first aiders. A faded or outdated sign can cause confusion during emergencies.

Ultimately, a "First Aiders Are (Space for 3)" sign is a simple but highly effective safety tool. It provides clarity in urgent situations, supports compliance with legal standards, and promotes a workplace culture that values preparedness and care for others. When combined with accessible first aid equipment and proper training, it helps ensure that any accident or illness receives a rapid and effective initial response.
