Aims

The minimum requirement for an employer is to appoint a person to take charge of the First Aid arrangements. This includes looking after the equipment and facilities and calling the emergency services when required.

Arrangements should be made for the Appointed Person to be available to undertake these duties at all times when people are at work.

Client Group

Where an employer’s assessment for First Aid needs identifies that a First Aider is not necessary. In the absence of First Aiders, employers must appoint a person for this purpose. Appointed Persons are not necessary where there are an adequate number of First Aiders.

Award

It should be remembered that Appointed Persons are not First Aiders and should not attempt to give First Aid for which they have not been trained.
