First Aid for Appointed Persons Course UK – Half-Day Training
Workplace emergencies don’t send a warning. Someone faints. A customer falls. A machine sparks. What happens next depends on who’s there and what they know.
To First Aid for Appointed Persons Course UK gives people the basic know-how to deal with incidents calmly and correctly – even if they’re not trained first aiders. It’s a short, practical session designed for low-risk workplaces and small teams.
Dla kogo przeznaczony jest ten kurs?
It’s suitable if you:
- Work in an office, salon, shop, or other low-risk setting
- Have fewer than 25 employees in a low-hazard environment
- Work in construction or warehousing with a team of fewer than 5
- Have done a risk assessment that shows a full first aider isn’t required
You might be a team lead, health & safety contact, or someone who’s often around when things go wrong.
What You’ll Learn on First Aid for Appointed Persons Course
After this half-day course, you’ll know how to:
- Understand your role under UK First Aid Regulations (1981)
- Call for help clearly and efficiently
- Look after a first aid kit
- Record workplace incidents properly
- Spot signs of seizures, fainting, and shock
- Manage the situation until a trained responder or emergency crew arrives
