Factory first aid

First Aid Training for Factories

First aid training for a factory prepares a trained first aider for every shift and department to handle burns, chemical splashes, crush and machine injuries and cardiac collapse until the OHC nurse or ambulance takes over. It is linked to the first aid boxes, eye wash stations and emergency plan of your specific plant.

Inspectors and auditors ask a simple question: who is the trained first aider on this shift, in this section, right now? The training is designed so you can always answer it.

By site type

Shift and department coverage

We start from your shift roster and section list, then plan batches so that every shift in every section has trained first aiders, including weekends and the night shift. Training is scheduled across shifts so production continues.

Plant-specific scenarios

  • Chemical splash to eyes and skin, using your eye wash stations
  • Thermal and chemical burns
  • Crush injuries and amputations from presses and conveyors
  • Electric shock in maintenance work
  • Gas exposure and the rule of not becoming a second casualty
  • CPR and AED use

Factories Act and first aid duties

The Factories Act requires first aid boxes or cupboards in proportion to the number of workers, each in the charge of a person trained in first aid and available during working hours. State rules add details on contents and training.

Legal references on this page are general guidance. Exact requirements depend on your state rules, the work you carry out and your headcount, so we confirm the applicable rules for each site before we propose a scope.

Drills and the emergency team

We combine training with a timed drill — alarm, first aider response, OHC handover and ambulance departure — and give the EHS team a short report on what slowed the response.

Records and refresher cycle

The plant receives a digital register of trained first aiders with shift, section and certificate date. Reminders flag refreshers before certificates lapse and gaps when trained people transfer or leave.

How we scope factory first aid training

  • Short call with HR, EHS or the project manager to understand headcount, shifts and existing arrangements
  • Site or office walk-through (in person or on video) to see the actual layout, access routes and risks
  • Written proposal with scope, staffing, schedule and price — nothing bundled that you did not ask for
  • Mobilisation, induction into your site rules and a named coordinator for the account
  • Monthly review with digital records in the Plan My Health platform

Frequently asked questions

How many first aiders does a factory need?

It depends on the number of workers per shift and the state rules on first aid boxes. We help you work out coverage per shift and section.

Can training be done on the shop floor?

Theory and CPR practice happen in a training room; scenario walk-throughs happen at the actual workstation.

Do you train in Marathi, Gujarati or Tamil?

Where trainers in that language are available. Hindi and English are standard.

Do you also train the OHC staff?

Yes, we can run advanced refreshers for nurses and ambulance crews.

How often should first aiders refresh?

We recommend an annual refresher.
