Lifesaving lessons: First Aid Compliance in the Workplace
Even if your business is office-based, learning first aid skills can be a lifesaver for someone in your team. If your company operates in a more dangerous field, all the more reason to learn first aid.

- First Aid Level One — a standard first aid course for the workplace that takes one day to complete and includes NZQA unit standards 6401, 6402.
- First Aid Level Two — a 12-hour course that includes NZQA unit standards 6400, 6401, 6402.
Every workplace has different levels of risk. Consult WorkSafe’s requirements to understand the level of training you need.
