MG Training is a provider of the HSE Approved Appointed Person course. This course is 6 hours in duration and is ideal for those businesses that are not terribly high risk (libraries etc..) but still need to appoint responsible people should there be a First Aid incident. The course will cover some core First Aid at Work elements but can be tailored to suit your particular needs.
Below is an extract from the HSE website regarding Appointed Person courses:
What is an appointed person?
When an employer’s first aid needs assessment identifies that a first aider is not necessary, the minimum requirement is to appoint a person to:
take charge when someone is injured or ill, including calling an ambulance if required;
look after the first aid equipment, eg restocking the first aid box.
Can appointed persons perform first aid, eg cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)?
Appointed persons should not attempt to give first aid for which they have not been trained.
