Are workplaces required to provide first aid training? Yes - you must have workers trained in first aid at your company, or you must have immediate access to workers trained in first aid (e.g. you share an office with other companies where other workers are trained, or you are next door to a medical centre). WorkSafe says, "All workers must be provided with first aid facilities, equipment and access to first aiders." This means you need at least two people in (or available to) your company who are trained (in case someone is away).

Are workplaces required to provide unit standard first aid training? Most companies do not require unit standards-based first aid training, and can choose the pathway that's best for them. Organisations and industries that do are controlled by: Ministry of Education, Fire & Rescue Services, NZ Police, NZ Defence Force, Maritime New Zealand, Electrical Workers Registration Board, some forestry and adventure tourism, certain non-hospital clinical staff (e.g. dispensing opticians, pharmacists) and Civil Aviation Authority. 

Does the course give unit standards? No. Unit standards and skill standards are optional qualifications (except when mentioned above). This course is aligned with the knowledge gained in unit standards 6401 and 6402 (levels 1 and 2), and the injury component of unit standard 6400 (level 3)

What training is recommended by WorkSafe? It's suggested that initial training is to unit standard level (although, this is not mandatory). You are free to choose the type of training that suits you, as long as it's equivalent or better.

Does the course meet the requirements of a first aid course? Yes.

What is the minimum requirement of a first aid course? The minimum duration of training for a workplace refresher course is 2 hours for a basic first aid course that might be suitable for a low-risk office (although, these courses often don't cover illnesses and injuries that can still occur). Our course is around 5 hours as it is a more comprehensive refresher and it matches the theory refresher requirements of a unit standard course.

Are refresher courses required? Yes. WorkSafe's recommendation is every two years. Note that under the HSWA, you can choose an equivalent or better option (i.e. every 1 year is better, every 3 years is not).
