The Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993, requires all businesses with more than 10 employees in the workplace, to appoint a first aider. This is however, the minimum requirement, but we would strongly recommend that all companies train a first aider, even if they have less than 10 employees, as injuries happen in all workplaces! Be pro-active in order to treat and prevent injuries/disease. This first aid course forms the basis of all emergency medical care, thus once you have successfully completed this course you will be able to render basic life support procedures in your organisation as a first aider.
