First Aid for Appointed Persons
First Aid for Appointed Persons

Overview

The first aid for appointed persons course is for individuals where Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines indicate that a first aider is not necessary.

The course is designed for organisations who:
•are in a low hazard environment (e.g, small shops or office) and have less than 25 employees, or
•are in a high hazard environment (e.g, construction or warehousing) and have less than 5 employees, and/or •have completed a risk assessment which indicates that a first aider is not necessary.
Course Content
Delegates will develop the skills to:
• Assess a casualty
• Monitor a casualty
• Know where to get help
• Complete an accident report
• Help someone who is unresponsive and breathing
• Help someone who is unresponsive and not breathing
• Help someone who is having a seizure
Upon successfully completing the course, delegates will be awarded an RQF certificate, which will be valid for three years.
Delivered in a classroom setting, this course offers a practical, hands-on approach that delivers the skills and confidence to respond in an emergency. For added reassurance, each delegate is assessed throughout the course using a range of practical demonstrations, question and answer sessions, quizzes and engaging activities, such as roleplay, designed to coach and support them.
If you have staff members with an existing medical condition (and these are detailed in your risk assessment), the HSE recommends that you consider completing the three-day first aid at work course; it teaches the skills to recognise and treat a wider range of injuries and medical conditions, which are not covered in the first aid for appointed persons or emergency first aid at work courses.
