Duration
2 hours of theoretical training with no practical training.
Syllabus
A range of subjects is covered including:
- Legislation
- Equipment and facilities
- Responsibilities
- Accident Reporting
- Risk Assessment of First Aid needs
Certification
A certificate of attendance is issued to all those who attend.
Please note it should be remembered that an Appointed Person is not a first aider and a full and detailed risk assessment should be carried out prior to selecting what course your company needs.
This training is aimed at medium and small companies with less than 50 staff and have a low risk level but require the need for trained first aid knowledge and due to a risk assessment feel that a more detailed course is not needed.
