Training courses for first-aiders in the workplace highlight the importance of preventing cross infection in first-aid procedures. Particular concerns have been raised about the possibility of first-aiders becoming infected by a blood-borne virus (including HIV, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus) while performing first aid. HSE’s free leaflet, Blood-borne viruses in the workplace, addresses this issue and advises on steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of infection.
