First Aid Appointed Person
In some workplaces, a first aid needs assessment shows that a trained first aider is not required, and an appointed person takes charge of first aid arrangements instead. This course explains that role, how to look after first aid equipment, how to call the emergency services and keep records, and gives awareness of basic emergency actions. It is an awareness course only: it does not provide a First Aid at Work or Emergency First Aid at Work qualification, and first aid skills need practical, assessed training.
