First aid & BLS — workplace safety trainings (Dir. 89/391/EEC)

What is it?

The EU OSH framework directive obliges employers to organise first aid; national rules define certified first-aiders per site and refresh cycles. Basic life support (BLS/CPR) courses follow European Resuscitation Council guidelines.

What evidence should a candidate have?

First-aid / BLS certificate with issue date (refresh typically every few years), plus OSH training records for the specific industry.

Why it matters for staffing

For care work these certificates are baseline hiring requirements; on sites the named first-aider is mandatory — candidates who bring them save the client an organisational headache.
