"The appointment of First Aiders

Where more than 10 employees are employed at the workplace, the employer needs to appoint a First Aider. This is a compulsory legal appointment and the First Aider should be readily available during normal working hours.

Ratio of First Aiders:

Shops & offices - one First Aider for every 100 employees. Other work places - one First Aider for every 50 employees."

Mines - the further away you are from emergency service, the higher qualification your employees will need.
