In the event of an accident requiring first aid, you should contact a first aider. A list of the names of trained first aiders can be found by the lifts in every University building. Please note that all security staff are first aid and defibrillator trained.

Security can be contacted by calling 0161 306 9966 (the number can also be found on the back of your ID card).

There is also an up to date list of trained first aiders available from the Safety Services First Aid webpage. While the posters in buildings are audited annually, it is very easy for the notices to become out of date with staff moving and leaving.

We have First Aid Kits available in several locations around our SALC buildings:

• Samuel Alexander Building – A6, as well as smaller kits with our First Aiders
• Martin Harris Centre - Reception
• Mansfield Cooper – 4.02
• Ellen Wilkinson Building- HCRI Office

Please contact compliance.salc@manchester.ac.uk if you need to top up any First Aid, or have any other queries.

You can find your nearest Defibrillator on the Campus Interactive Map.

The following First Aid training courses are available (Line-manager approval required):

• THS87 - First Aid at Work Certificate
• THS88 - First Aid at Work Requalification

Course bookings will be moderated by the First Aid Administrator.

Academic staff leading field trips are encouraged to acquire a First Aid qualification. Courses can book up quickly so it is advised to book as far in advance as possible.
