Why we write these
Ralmed trains first aiders and safety staff, and provides medical cover at workplaces. We see what happens when a first aid box is empty or nobody knows who the first aider is.
These OHS and first aid resources are written to help employers get the basics right before an incident, not after it. Our training is accredited through HWSETA and the QCTO and is delivered across South Africa.
Always check the current official regulations, published by the Department of Employment and Labour, and take professional advice for your own workplace where you need it.
