First Aid Appointed Person Certificate Training Course

Course Description

Learning about the first aid appointed person is essential for businesses of all types and sizes and is both a legal obligation under UK law and a potentially life-saving exercise. It is also very commonly misunderstood, and many employers require clarity regarding their obligations.

The first aid appointed person performs the vital role of being the first point of contact for all first aid matters, and we will analyze their four major roles, including taking emergency action and keeping accurate first aid records. We will also discuss the importance of the first aid kit and provide a comprehensive checklist of everything that needs to be included and learn about the importance of a needs assessment analysis and the legal requirements for appointed people and first aiders. Finally, we will provide a complete guide for employees and employers on how to choose the most effective appointed person, based on their personality traits and their current role in the organisation. This is the ultimate resource for understanding everything you need to know about the first aid appointed person in the UK.
