First aid guide
Can workplace first aid be completed online?
Some low-risk workplaces may be suitable for Online First Aid, while higher-risk workplaces may require practical classroom training.

Whether online training suits your workplace depends on your risk level, which is shaped by your industry, hazards and ACC classification. The free First Aid Check assesses this for you — using current regulations, best-practice guidance and your ACC risk category — and tells you whether an online option is appropriate for your site.
Common misconceptions
Many businesses assume every workplace has identical requirements. In reality, first aid arrangements should reflect the risks and circumstances of each workplace.
See exactly what your workplace needs
The surest way to get this right is a proper assessment of your own site. First Aid Check’s free assessment is built on current NZ first aid regulations, best-practice first-aider ratios and ACC industry risk categories — so your result reflects the rules and your real risk, not a generic rule of thumb. A few minutes gives you a personalised report you can act on.
