Can first aid courses also be done online?

No, online courses are not recognized for workplace first aiders or driving licence applicants. First aid courses must be attended as face-to-face events. The aim of every first aid course is to impart not only theoretical knowledge but above all practical skills. The courses are intended to prepare for emergencies in real situations in which concrete actions are expected from the first aider. These actions must be practiced practically in the course. Therefore, online first aid courses are excluded for workplace first aiders and driving licence applicants.

Does every company need workplace first aiders?

In every business with two or more "insured persons", i.e. employees, present, sufficiently trained and regularly retrained first aiders must be available. The required number depends, among other things, on the type of business and the number of insured persons present: For 2 to 20 insured persons present, one first aider is required, for more than 20 insured persons present in administrative and commercial businesses 5%, in all other businesses 10%.

How often do workplace first aiders need to retrain?

The accident insurance carriers require regular retraining for workplace first aiders: Every 2 years, a first aid course with 9 teaching units is required.

What do I need to do to have the course fees reimbursed by the employers' liability insurance association?

In general, the employers' liability insurance association covers the costs for training and retraining of workplace first aiders. Most employers' liability insurance associations do not require an application for this. You only need a BG billing form, which you should bring to the course filled out and signed. However, there are exceptions: Members of BGN, BGW and KUVB or Bayer. LUK must apply for cost coverage in advance from their accident insurance carrier. There are different procedures depending on the BG. You can find more information on cost coverage here. For participation in a first aid course in English, we charge an additional fee on top of the cost coverage by the employers' liability insurance association.
