How many first-aiders does your site actually need?

A workable planning ratio is one trained first-aider per 25 employees per shift for low-risk offices, and one per 15 for manufacturing or warehousing.

Certification every two years with a hands-on refresher every 12 months keeps CPR and AED skills usable. Skills decay measurably after nine months without practice.

Run unannounced drills covering cardiac arrest, bleeding control, burns and electrical injury. Score response time to first compression, not attendance.
