Current legislation requires all workplaces (PCBUs) to ensure that a sufficient number of workers are trained to provide workplace first aid or have access to adequately trained first aiders. The required number of first aiders may vary depending on factors such as the number of workers, the type of work, and the physical size of the workplace. The New Zealand Resuscitation Council (NZRC), the standard-setting body for resuscitation and first aid, recommends training workplace first aiders as Basic Trained Responders. This Workplace 8-hour First Aid course covers all the skills and knowledge suggested for a Basic Trained Responder operating in low-risk environments.
