Appointed Person..

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: An appointed Person is not a First Aider and should not attempt to give First Aid for which they have not been trained,
