First Aid & CPR Austria

First aid and CPR training is regulated by law in Austria. Whether you are an employer, a childcare provider, or an individual who wants to be prepared, this section outlines the legal framework that applies to your region so you can make informed decisions about your training.

Workplace first aid requirements

In Austria, workplace first aid is governed by Workers' Protection Act (ArbeitnehmerInnenschutzgesetz, ASchG), transposing EU Framework Directive 89/391/EEC, administered by Labour Inspectorate (Arbeitsinspektion) and the General Accident Insurance Institution (AUVA). Employers must ensure a trained first aider is available at all times.
