I have a sentence "Per manutenzione ordinaria s’intendono gli interventi finalizzati a contenere il degrado normale d'uso nonché a far fronte ad eventi accidentali che comportino la necessità di primi interventi, che comunque non modifichino la struttura essenziale dell'impianto e la sua destinazione d'uso"
I understand the sense of it being emergency or initial intervention maintenance work. Primo soccorso is first aid in English however what is the correct expression in English??

Hi Howard, in the UK we usually have three classifications for repair work, be it to boilers/heating systems, the electricity grid/gas works, roadworks etc:
emergency work
urgent work
routine work
In your example personally I'd go with "... emergency work", but urgent repairs may well fit the bill too.

I don't think "primi" needs to be translated here.
