Abstract French regulations require industrial physicians to assume responsibility for the in-plant training of first-aid and rescue workers. The author examines the various factors which obstruct this activity, and outlines the role of the first-aid and rescue worker in the undertaking and the objectives towards which his training should be directed. Reviews briefly past action taken in this field and presents the new 8-hour accelerated training course designed by the French National Research and Safety Institute.
