Each Australian State and Territory has legislation covering Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) requirements for delivering first aid in the workplace.

The benefits for your company in using a managed first aid training service include state-by-state compliance with all various regional regulations - and the Alsco managed training service also is tax deductible.
