SST refresher (MAC): your questions
How long does SST training last and how long is it valid?
The initial SST course lasts 14 hours, i.e. 2 days in person, for a group of 4 to 10 participants. The Workplace First Aider certificate is valid for 24 months. It is renewed through a 7-hour refresher course (MAC SST) every 2 years.
Is SST first aid training mandatory for companies in France?
Employers must ensure the safety and protect the health of their employees (article L. 4121-1 of the French Labour Code). Article R. 4224-15 requires a trained first aider in every workshop where dangerous work is carried out, and on every site employing at least 20 workers for more than 15 days where dangerous work is carried out. Beyond these cases, training Workplace First Aiders (SST) remains the simplest way to meet the duty to organise first aid.
