First Aid Appointed Person

The First Aid Appointed Person training programme is designed for delegates whose employment requires them to manage a medical situation until help arrives. Alternatively where an employer’s assessment of first aid identifies that a First Aider is not necessary, the minimum requirement is that they appoint a person to take charge of first aid facilities and emergency arrangements.

The aim of this course is to provide delegates with the ability to undertake basic life support and emergency procedures in the event of an accident or injury to a work colleague until trained help arrives. This will include understanding the role of an Appointed Person in reference to The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, Maintain first aid equipment, Record and report accidents and injuries in the workplace (RIDDOR) and perform basic first aid and life support in the absence of a First Aider

Training is conducted either on customers premises or at one of our training centres and is classroom based. Some practical training will be conducted using our own equipment.

By the end of the course delegates will have been instructed in:

1. The action to be taken at the scene of an accident
2. CPR resuscitation
3. Heart attacks
4. Shock
5. Bleeding
6. Electrical injuries
7. Burns
8. Choking/asthma
9. Poisoning
