COURSE OVERVIEW

Every company in the UK must be able to provide adequate and appropriate first aid cover in their workplace. Our Appointed Persons in the Workplace course is trained under the guidelines of the HSE First Aid at Work Regulations 1981.

We’ve provided our basic first aid training course to small and large groups in classrooms throughout Bristol and the surrounding areas, such as Weston Super Mare, Cheddar, Clevedon, Nailsea, Portishead, Avonmouth, Keynsham and Bath to name a few. This one day training programme will help your company meet its first aid compliance obligations, ensuring that there is suitable first aid provision for any persons injured in your workplace.

An ‘appointed person’ is someone who is responsible for first aid equipment and procedures within an organisation. This course is ideal for small, low risk businesses in South West England, whilst it’s also suited to larger companies seeking additional first aid compliance. Not only is this first aid course suitable for small and large businesses, it’s also apt for scout leaders and anybody who would like to hold first aid certification for community projects.

Candidates must be physically able to carry out each of the procedures detailed in the course content section below and must attend all sessions to be eligible for assessment.

The course will lead by BS3’s professional instructor and it will be presented in a classroom format with slide show presentations, videos and group work. During the session(s), we’ll cover all of the following areas:

• Welcome and introduction
