I am aware of one free lance OHA who does
first aid training, and I examine for an independent firm of FA providers,mostly
for employees of a large City Council, which has an active OH department.
In many organisations organization of first aid
training is not an OH function, but a safety function.
A university I recently worked at outsourcers all
FA training to St John/Red Cross.
If you have limited time it makes sense to give
this tasks to others who are doing it constantly and expertly, leaving you to
use the expertise that you uniquely have as an OHA for OH work.

Subject: First Aid training
Hello all,
I know I may be jumping
the gun a little, but a possible change to the First Aid at Work regs on the
recent discussion document was to have yearly updates.
An an OHN
within the NHS, aswell as a First Aid instructor and examiner, this has
significant consequences on both time and workload should this change come
into force.
My question is do any other OHN's 'buy-in' trainers for
First Aid, and if so is this cost effective? I'm concerned as I have a
terrible vision two years down the line of teaching and assessing First Aid on
an almost constant basis. This will be an expensive way to do this, and will
not enhance my work and role either.
regards,
Glenn
