Posted By john r sharp A question for M&E company colleauges: Do any of you provide basic first aid training e.g a four hour session, to cover CPR and injuries related to electricity, to your electricians? Several of our senior managers seem to think that it is a requirement to do this. So I am throwing it open!! My personal view is that it is a good idea, but should be backed up by the correct number of qualified first aiders. Over to you all. John

Posted By Dave Dowan Hi John We have engineers (not electricians) who have to work on the electrical supply for street cabinets. They have to complete a G39 competency course and most of the regional electricity companies who run the course insist that they attend the 1/2 day first aid course. I suppose in the end it will be down to good old risk assessment. Hope this helps Dave
