About this course

For many smaller low-risk companies, the legal minimum for first aid provision is to have someone in their company who simply looks after first aid – this is the First Aid Appointed Person.

Over 600,000 non-fatal injuries happen in the workplace each year in the UK – it is therefore essential that there is at least one person available at all times to deal with any potential accidents and injuries.

Our First Aid Appointed Person training programme explains exactly what the role of First Aid Appointed Person requires a member of staff to do, as well as introducing best practices in the event of an accident or injury at work and managing first aid kits.

It is intended that our programme is used alongside First Aid Requirements in the Workplace (including RIDDOR). This programme will indicate the need for a first aid appointed person, as well as explain the benefits to your organisation.

This First Aid Appointed Person online training course only provides awareness education. Face-to-face training would be needed in addition in order to complete all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.
