Is Resuscitation Level- 1 Basic Life Support training a legal requirement in the UK?

There is no single UK law requiring every employee to complete Resuscitation Level 1 training. However, employers have legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to assess workplace risks and provide appropriate information, instruction and training.

Within healthcare and social care, employers are expected to provide suitable resuscitation training based on staff roles and clinical responsibilities, in line with Resuscitation Council UK guidance and Care Quality Commission expectations. Risk assessments should determine who requires Basic Life Support training and how frequently refresher training should be completed.

Many organisations recommend annual refresher training to maintain knowledge and competence, particularly in healthcare and social care settings, although local policies and risk assessments should determine training frequency.
