This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition All workers to know basic first aid.
Rejected on
100,000 people every year in the UK die of sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately there are still people out there who do not know basic first aid and I feel that these statistics could be greatly improved if all workers were trained in first aid.
Be a lifesaver not a spectator.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This would be a decision for employers.
