A sample of the controlled template. The complete document is not embedded in this page.
What problem it solves
Appointments made verbally cannot be evidenced, and an appointment to someone without current certification is worse than none.
Who it is for
Employers designating first aid responsibility on site.
What the document covers
- Appointee name, role and site
- Scope of the appointment
- Competence and certification reference
- Appointment and acceptance signatures with dates
- Validity and review
How to use it
Check the certification is current before appointing, and diarise its expiry. Attach a copy of the certificate to the appointment.
Limitations to be aware of
The appointment records the designation. It does not create competence, and it lapses in substance when the certification expires.
This is general information. A template provides a structured starting point and does not by itself create legal compliance. What your organisation and site require comes from the applicable legislation and a competent practitioner.
