Designated First Aiders

Campus Safety manages the University’s Designated First Aider (DFA) services to ensure consistent provision of first aid services throughout campus. The Designated First Aider Guide provides details of this service. DFAs are employees appointed to provide first aid services and receive training in First Aid/CPR (typically Standard First Aid Level C CPR/AED). DFAs also receive secondary on-line training on their responsibilities within the University’s First Aid Program. Designated First Aiders include:

  • Security Representatives as the U of L 24/7 First Aid Responders on campus.
  • Safety Services Registered Nurse with Advanced First Aid training.
  • Sport and Recreation Services staff have specialty pool/water/sport first aid training.
  • Some employees are also DFAs based on the hazards assessed in their area (e.g. risk level of work conducted, location/remoteness of the worksite, types of hazards) and are appointed on a case-by-case basis within work units.
