Is there a retention period for companies?
Most companies have a retention period of five years for the first-aid book. However, some have a shorter duration, depending on the type of injury and when it occurred. For example, if an employee was injured three months ago due to faulty equipment, the company should keep this information for nine months to ensure they are fully compensated. Among other things, our first aid book online software takes care of this for you.
When and why does a first aid book have to be kept in a company?
All companies where a first aid incident is possible must keep a first aid log. A first-aid book must be kept for each location and all incidents that result in hospitalization must be recorded.
What is the BFGA and what does it have to do with my first aid book?
