First Aid Training Overview Did you know that workplaces need to have a certain number of qualified first aiders? Low-risk workplace – one first aider for every 50 workers High-risk workplace – one first aider for every 25 workers Remote high-risk workplace – one first aider for every 10 workers It’s important for nominated first aiders to attend regular training to refresh their skills and knowledge, so they can provide effective first aid when needed. We recommend that first aiders receive refresher CPR training annually and renew their first aid qualifications every three years.

Each year, 190 construction industry workers in Australia take their own lives, resulting in a loss of one worker every second day. 1 The statistics reveal a stark reality: construction workers face a suicide risk six times higher than the risk of workplace accidents. Moreover, young construction workers are more than twice as likely to take their own lives compared to other young Australian men. 2 St John SA offers a Mental Health First Aid course that teaches the skills to understand and identify colleagues who may be experiencing issues with their mental health.
