1 Day Emergency First Aid at Work and Epipen
In October 2009 the HSE changed the “Appointed Persons” course to the “Emergency First Aid at Work” course. This course is to train a nominated person who will take charge in the event of illness or accident when a fully qualified First Aider is not mandatory. First Aiders at larger organisations can benefit from this additional support.
The HSE do not govern this 1 day course, hence there is no set maximum number of delegates. We set a maximum of 16 delegates as we can easily supervise 16 delegates each working with their own mannequin.
