Qualsafe Emergency First Aid - Level 3
All organisations as a minimum legal requirement must appoint a person to take charge of first aid arrangements including looking after first aid equipment and facilities and calling the emergency services when required. Some small workplaces may only need the minimum provision. But, there are factors that might mean you need greater provision, for example on large building sites.
