‘Appointed Person’ Course - 2 hours
Theory class-based training (does not include practical element)
Where an employer’s assessment of First Aid needs identifies that a First Aider or Emergency First Aider is not necessary, the minimum requirement on an employer is to appoint a person to take charge of the First Aid arrangements, including looking after equipment and facilities, and calling the emergency services when required.
The training enhances individual readiness, ultimately contributing to creating a safer workplace environment. By empowering individuals with the ability to take decisive action, this course plays a crucial role in potentially saving lives in emergency situations.
If an employer finds, through a careful evaluation, that a qualified First Aider or Emergency First Aider is not needed, they must still appoint someone capable to manage First Aid arrangements. This person's duties include maintaining First Aid equipment and facilities, and ensuring that emergency services are called quickly when needed.
