Emergency First Aid at Work

Under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 (1982 in Northern Ireland), an appointed person is one who takes charge in a situation when an accident involving injury or illness occurs during the absence of a certificated First Aider.

This one day course is recognised by the Health and Safety Executive as suitably qualifying individuals as 'First Aid - Appointed Persons'.

It is suitable for anyone who wishes to achieve 'appointed person' status within their workplace and have reasonable capability to take charge in a situation when an accident involving injury or illness occurs in the absence of a certificated First Aider.

Consensa uses a combination of scenarios and practical work to enthuse and inform its delegates. Cosensa trainers are chosen for their practical experience gained in real life situations and for their ability to inspire.

The trainers for this course have extensive experience in design and delivery of first aid programmes. They are qualified by St John's ambulance and previously held the position of First Aid trainer for the Central Scotland Police force for a number of years.

All delegates who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate of attendance.
