First Aid Appointed Person

This First Aid Appointed Person eLearning course provides essential awareness training for individuals nominated to take responsibility for first-aid provisions and arrangements within their workplace. It focuses on understanding the role and legal context of an appointed person, knowing what first-aid equipment and facilities should be in place, and how to act calmly and effectively in an emergency until professional help arrives. The course is ideal for workplaces where a fully qualified first aider is not required but where someone must manage first-aid arrangements and support basic emergency response.


Course Aims

The primary aims of the First Aid Appointed Person course are to:

  • Introduce the role and responsibilities of a First Aid Appointed Person within the context of workplace first-aid provision and the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations.
  • Clarify legal requirements and compliance expectations, helping learners understand employer duties and the minimum first-aid arrangements required by law.
  • Explain what first-aid equipment and facilities should be maintained, including first-aid kits and documentation such as accident records.
  • Develop confidence in managing first-aid situations, including knowing how to communicate with emergency services and provide accurate information.
  • Support safe and effective emergency response, emphasising calm, measured actions until further medical support arrives.
