Not sure where to start?
Your due diligence still applies. These tools give general guidance only. The employer is responsible for its own first aid assessment and for meeting the OHS Regulation and WSBC’s requirements for the workplace. Check WSBC’s current pages and the Regulation, and ask WSBC or a qualified person when you’re unsure. Nothing here replaces those duties, or the first aid training your attendants need.
