J. Doran

ONE HUNDRED and forty nine first aiders working in a health authority, 26 in a light engineering company and 35 in food processing plants completed an anonymous questionnaire about their training and first aid work. Information was also gathered on views about its value, the role of cash bonuses and its promotion amongst other staff. The response rate was 88%. The majority of first aiders were in their 30s and had practised first aid for less than a decade. At least 80% intended to revalidate their certificate and continue to practise. First aid was used most in food processing plants and least in the health authority. Offers of help had seldom been refused. Over 90% of respondents thought first aid was worthwhile.

Key Words: First aid hospitals • engineers • food
