The answer in detail

How many first aiders does a company need?

What counts is the number of employees regularly working at the same time. In shift operations, enough first aiders must be present in every shift.

The basic training covers 16 hours. After that, an eight-hour refresher every four years or a four-hour refresher every two years is sufficient.

The training of company first aiders is based on § 26 ASchG and § 40 AStV.
