First Aid Requirements For Hazardous Processes Factory

Dear Friends,

I am new to the HR field. I need to know about the first aid requirements for a factory running hazardous processes. Our factory has an employee strength of 50 people, and we run phosphating machines that emit hazardous gases. I want to confirm whether we need to equip a proper first aid room with an attendant for the above. I could not find any detailed explanation in the Factories Act either. Kindly help me.

Thanks,
Swati

Hi,

First aid boxes and fire extinguishers are mandatory for all organizations, particularly those in production industries. Please refer to SCHEDULE V, VI, VII of the Factories Act ([url=http://dgfasli.nic.in/html/dockact/rule17.htm]The Factories Act, Chapter - I[/]).

Hi,

There are important things such as training personnel in first aid treatment, displaying first aid trained personnel, and maintaining a list of first aid boxes in the company. Please also review the attachments.
