Appointed Persons 1 Day Courses
First Aid at Work 4 Day Courses
FirstAid at Work 2 Day Courses
Applied Paramedic Knowledge
Appointed Persons Courses are available on
demand. They may, if more
convenient for the employer, be held on the employer's premises Organizations with comparatively low health & safety risks
where First Aiders are considered unnecessary must still have someone designated
to take charge of the first aid arrangements, look after the equipment and call
the emergency services when required. This course has been designed to meet the requirements of
the person provided by the employer to take charge of a situation if an accident
or injury occurs in the absence of a fully qualified designated First Aider. Where there are an adequate number of First Aiders an
Appointed Person may only provide emergency cover when the absence of First
Aiders is due to exceptional, unforeseen and temporary circumstances. Annual
leave does not count. If assessment calls for First Aiders to be provided they
should be available when the need arises. The certificate is valid for three years. Instruction is given in the following areas:
What to do in an emergency
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
First Aid for the unconscious casualty
First Aid for the wounded or bleeding
An Appointed Persons Course is held over 1 day.
Assessment is done by the trainer continuously throughout the course.
