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.
