S.L. 424.13 ст. 5First aiders.

(1) An employer shall ensure the presence at all times of such a number of first aiders as is adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for rendering first aid to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work.

(2) Where a first aider is absent in temporary and exceptional circumstances, it shall be sufficient compliance if the employer appoints a person, or ensures that a person is appointed, to take charge of the situation relating to an injured or ill employee who will need help from a medical practitioner or nurse, and of the equipment and facilities relating to the giving of first aid.

(3) There shall, in any case, be -

(a) in a work place with relatively low hazards, including offices, shops, and banks, one first aider for every one hundred employees;

(b) in a work place with a greater degree of hazard, including factories, ship repair and ship building yards, and docks, one first aider for every fifty employees:

Provided that where there are fewer employees than those stipulated herein, an employer shall provide an appointed person.

(4) An employer shall ensure the availability of a sufficient number of first aiders or appointed persons in the case of shift workers, with the number of first aiders and appointed persons being determined by the number of employees at work on each shift and in the same ratio as for workers who do not work on shift.
