Why is the workplace first aid course important?

The basic goal of first aid is to save the life of the injured person and prevent further health damage. Helping people who have suffered an accident or injury is one of the most expected human actions, and it is also our civic/legal obligation. It is no different in the case of workplaces.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act states that “In the workplace - in accordance with its nature, location, sources of danger, the number of employees, effects from work and the working environment and health-damaging pathological factors, as well as the organization of work - the material, personal and organizational conditions for providing first aid at the workplace must be ensured.

About the minimum level of occupational health and safety requirements for workplaces solo 3/2002 SzCsM-EüM joint ordert states that “In every workplace and shift the from the dangers of activity and work processes, respectively first aid equipment designed depending on the number of employees there or rescue box and the presence of a trained first aid person among the employees must be ensured.”

How many primary first aiders are required for workplaces?

There is currently no precise all-encompassing regulation in this regard. The previous legislation has been repealed and can therefore only be used as a guideline.

When determining the number of designated first aiders, the nature of the given workplace and the total number of employees must be taken into account.

Based on previous domestic guidelines, the minimum number of designated first aiders must be determined as follows

• 1 person in case of employment of 6-50 employees
• 2 people in case of employment of 51-100 employees
• In case of employment of 101-200 employees, 3 people
• 4 people in case of employment of 201-400 employees
• above 5 people.

So, every workplace and shift must have a designated first aid person. When determining their number, in addition to the above, possible illnesses and vacations must be taken into account.
