Enhanced First Aid Refresher Training / V5 2023-05-02

In general, in a high-risk situation, basic and enhanced first aid as well as paramedic support may need to be immediately available. In a medium risk situation, basic first aid should be immediately available with enhanced first aid available within a defined time, which is to be determined by the employer. In a low risk situation, time to provide enhanced first aid may be prolonged. However, health related considerations alone, may be the driver for maintaining a heightened enhanced first aid readiness.

In order to decide on the appropriate degree of first aid measures based on the risk assessment it is imperative to take company-work-specific characteristics into account. The duty of care ultimately lies with company management. Employers can in justified cases and where appropriate deviate from the measures recommended in this document, whenever an equally effective alternate measure has been implemented. 6.

The following table shows an example of the output of a medical risk assessment and the recommended ratio of personnel with EFA training according to the level of risk depending on type of activity and work location.
