[QUOTE="Lobsang Tsultim, post: 2544132, member: 554942"] True. Looking at the HSE advice, it would seem that based on an assessment of the needs of that workplace, the company would be negligent if Homer had a hypo, became unconscious, which caused either he or someone else to get injured, and they had failed to provide sufficient training for first aiders to identify and treat hypos including the use of the hypo kit in an emergency. It sounds like HR is trying to get out of their legal duty to provide adequate first aid provision. Type 1 diabetes is often treated as a disability for the purposes of the Disability Act and the Equality Act, so they may be failing to make reasonable adjustments required by those as well. [/QUOTE]
