A minimum six-hour programme (one
day) for those who wish to gain knowledge of emergency
procedures and attain a recognised qualification in
First Aid.
|
Where an employer's assessment for
the First Aid needs identifies that a Four-day FAW qualification
is not necessary, the minimum employers requirement
is to appoint a person to take charge of the First Aid
arrangements. This includes looking after the equipment
and facilities, and calling emergency services when
required. Arrangements should be made for an Appointed
Person to be available for these duties at all times
when people are at work. Note: Appointed Persons are
not First Aiders and should not attempt to give First
Aid for which they have not been trained.
|
|
By the end of the course, candidates
will be able to demonstrate the essential knowledge
and skills needed with threatening emergencies in the
workplace.
|
Successful students will receive a
certificate recognised by the Health and Safety Executive
- valid for a period of three years, upon completion
of course assessment.
