What are the first-aid requirements for my workplace?
Clause 20 of the OHS Regulation 2001 sets out certain minimum standards for first aid, however, no two workplaces are exactly the same (See FAQ re minimum requirements).
First aid facilities must be adequate for the immediate treatment of the injuries that might arise at the workplace.
The factors that will determine your best first aid plan depend upon the industry you operate in and the specific activities in your workplace.
To ensure adequate first aid provisions, employers must identify their potential problems, assess their requirements and consult with employees in the process.
