First Aid at Work (Appointed Person)
Course description
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require that in order to provide first aid to their employees who are injured or become ill at work, employers must have adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel.
An appointed person is someone chosen to:
- take charge when someone is injured or falls ill, including calling an ambulance if required;
- look after the first aid equipment, eg restocking the first aid box.
Appointed persons should not attempt to give first aid for which they have not been trained.
