What is an Appointed Person?
An appointed person is...
someone who is responsible for first aid equipment and procedures within an organisation, if the organisation falls below the criteria requiring a formally trained first aider.
If your assessment indicates that you do not need a trained first aider in your workplace, you should instead appoint someone who takes responsibility for all first aid arrangements. This person should:
Look after first aid equipment and facilities
Be responsible for calling emergency services when required
Keep records of instances of illness or injury at work.
Even if you have one or more first aiders, an appointed person would take responsibility when the trained first-aider is unexpectedly unavailable. An appointed person cannot stand in for a first aider for expected absences (such as annual leave). In this case, more than one first aider should be available.
