Answer to Question 1:

Dear John,

The definition of First Aid is given in the General Applications Regulations 2007. From this, First Aid means either treatment in life-threatening situations, (e.g. heart stoppage or severe bleeding) pending medical help or for minor injury (cuts, bruises etc). First Aid does not cover the administration of drugs or medications and they should not be kept in the workplace first aid kit.
Occupational 1st Aid Certification is valid for 3 years at which point recertification is required.
Occupational 1st Aid Instructor Certification is valid for 5 years at which point recertification is required
Where certification for occupational first aider lapses, 1 day retraining required if lapse is less than 6 months, otherwise full 3 day retraining required. Please contact Phoenix Safety for the next dates in regard to occupational first aid.

Kind Regards,
Paul
