Article L1424-37-2 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

For the entire duration of their commitment and, after termination of their commitment, for a period not exceeding twenty-four months, volunteer fire fighters who have completed the training enabling them to participate in missions of emergency first aid and care for people are deemed to meet the training conditions enabling them to provide first aid to injured or sick employees of the company in which they work. However, where the company’s activity involves exposure to specific risks, this training must be supplemented with regard to these risks.
This article applies without prejudice to the employer’s obligation to take the necessary measures appropriate to the nature of the risks.

Pendant toute la durée de leur engagement et, après la cessation de celui-ci, pour une durée n’excédant pas vingt-quatre mois, les sapeurs-pompiers volontaires titulaires de la formation leur permettant de participer aux missions de secours et de soins d’urgence aux personnes sont réputés remplir les conditions de formation leur permettant d’assurer les premiers secours aux salariés accidentés ou malades de l’entreprise dans laquelle ils travaillent.
