The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all construction sites to have:

```
	a first aid box with enough equipment to cope with the number of workers on site;

	an appointed person to take charge of first-aid arrangements; and

	information telling workers the name of the appointed person or first aider and where to find them. A notice in the site hut is a good way of doing this.
```
