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.
