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,
