Hi all

We are a larege office type orginisition based in centeral london. Our secuirty staff are trained in defib. They have also been trained in the use of medical oxygen and have a oxygen bottle onsite which is regulary maintained and checked. Their  training is well overdure for a refesher

I was wondering if anyones in a similar environment  trained their fist aiders in oxygen?

I'm thinking of getting rid of it all together taking into account of the risks invloved, maintenance, training issues and our location in cetntral london. 

Any thoughts on this?

Using oxygen sounds over the top for normal first aid in an office environment. We have had people trained to use it but only to deal with potential cyanide poisoning incidents.
