Can We Hire an In-House Safety Trainer for Fire and First Aid? What to Know

In-House Trainer for Fire, First Aid, and Evacuation Trainings

Can we have an in-house trainer for conducting fire, first aid, and evacuation trainings? If so, what should be their qualifications or certifications? How many trainings per year are required as per the Factories Act? Please advise.

Regards

Friends,

I have been asked to initiate and kick-start the "environmental health safety" division. We are OHSAS certified and specialize in chemicals and formulations.

Hiring Plan

I have planned to hire:

1. An in-house trainer - to ensure training is not an issue and costs are included in CTC (Hyderabad).
2. Two individuals with safety diplomas to be assigned to specialty chemicals and formulations - one in Hyderabad and one in Bidar.

The trainer needs to have certifications in firefighting, evacuation, and first aid. Safety engineers must have a background in chemistry to assist in conducting HIRA, JSA, PSA, and ensuring OHSAS compliance.

I am a lead auditor myself (QMS and OHSAS). Please recommend individuals with genuine enthusiasm. Growth and freedom to express/experiment are guaranteed.
