Appointed Person
According to the law, every business, whatever its size, must have at least one Appointed Person available at all times (unless they cannot be at work due to unforeseen circumstances). First aid training is not mandatory, but if they are to provide emergency cover, as indicated by the HSE, then training is advisable. All our courses are suitable for this purpose, although the 1-day Emergency First Aid at Work course is usually the most appropriate. This course was introduced by the HSE in 2009 and can only be offered by HSE approved training organisations. It is designed for those with fewer employees or a lower level of risk.
Help in finding the most appropriate course for your business can be found on the HSE’s website (click here)
The course content is dictated by the HSE and includes:
- the role of the first aider
- handling an emergency safely
- basic life support including cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- dealing with wounds or bleeding
- dealing with seizures and choking
- provision of appropriate first aid for minor injuries
- Introductory training with the automated defibrillator (AED)
All our first aid courses are taught by experienced, top class instructors who rely on high quality training aids, realistic casualty simulation and scenarios drawn from real-life, making the experience memorable and fun. We also provide monthly updates for all our students to help keep the first aid training fresh in their minds.
