First aid Level 3

The appointment of first aiders

Where more than 10 employees are employed at a workplace, the employer needs to appoint a first aider. This is a compulsory legal appointment and the first aider should be readily available during normal working hours.

This is the most advanced first aid qualification that can be achieved. Ultimate Fire recommends that all supervisors in working for large companies get trained for Level Three. This will insure a very high standard of patient care and help reduce further injury at the place of employment.
