Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).
These regulations, which contain provisions similar to those con- tained in the Factories Act 1961 relating to first aid, prescribe first aid requirements for "registrable workplaces", namely, factories, mines and premises in which a dangerous trade is carried on, The regulations aft intended to replace the provisions contained in regulation 41 of the Factories and Industrial Undertakings Regulations and to specify in greater detail what is required in relation to the provision of firal aid,
2. The regulations require that a first aid box be kept in a registrable workplace for each hundred persons or part thereof and that a team of responsible persons shall have charge of the first aid boxes. Subject to certain qualifications, the team must include one person trained in first aid for each one hundred persons employed in a registrable workplace.
3. Owing to the shortage of persons trained in first aid, the operation of the provision which requires a leam of persons responsible for first aid to include a person trained in first aid is postponed until 1st October 1969, 4. By regulation 7 the Commissioner of Labour is empowered to grant an exemption from the regulations, where a first aid room with adequate facilities is provided in a registrable workplace.
