All confirmed nominees are appropriately qualified first-aiders, holding current first-aid certificates. Therefore, one of the first-aiders listed above must be contacted in the event of an incident occurring, to administer any first aid required. It is important that all issues where a first-aider has been involved are recorded in the necessary incident logbook(s) which accompany the first-aid box(es).
Whenever candidates are present, to attend for a component of a course/programme/session, their tutor/assessor/coach is responsible for making them aware of who their nominated first-aiders are and where they can be found (they are required to be on site at the time of a course/programme/session taking place).

Risk Assessment Procedures
Tutors/assessors/coaches must ensure that suitable and sufficient control measures are in place to reduce identified risks when they are delivering any component of a course/programme/session. Any information a tutor/assessor/coach has identified in relation to risk should be shared with/distributed to other members of personnel. All personnel required to conduct risk assessments will be given the appropriate training and/or will be made aware of what is expected of them in advance. We use various sites in the company from office bases, to sports facilities and class rooms, staff will follow health and safety policies at these sites.
Where tutors/assessors/coaches complete a session where they would not normally complete a session, a risk assessment must be conducted, to ensure the health and safety of all present. Additionally, a risk assessment is required to be conducted prior to any practical activity. A risk assessment form has been created for these purposes.
