FIRST AID TO THE INJURED.

NOTE.—A list of the names and addresses of the local secretaries of the St. John Ambulance Association is given in Appendix C, page 2996.

36. 1. The certificate required to be submitted by a candidate must be a certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association, the St. Andrew’s Ambulance Association, the St. Patrick’s Ambulance Association, the British Red Cross Society, the London County Council, the Glamorgan County Council, the Leith Nautical College, or other approved body, or by a medical officer of one of His Majesty’s ships to the effect that he has passed examination in first aid to the injured.

37. The certificate must be an adult certificate—i.e., obtained by the candidate when sixteen years of age or more—and the examination for it must have been passed not more than three years before the date of the examination for the certificate of competency. Certificates issued by the St. John Ambulance Association more than three years before the examination for a certificate of competency will, however, be accepted, provided that at the expiration of three years since its issue the certificate has attached to it the “voucher” or “label” of the association certifying that the holder has passed re-examination in first aid.

38. If a candidate does not possess such a certificate of proficiency in first aid he should apply, some time before he wishes to sit for examination for a certificate as master or mate, to the local secretary of an approved association, or other approved body, who will inform him of the available facilities for the instruction and examination of candidates in first aid.

39. Besides the courses of instruction which are provided on shore at the ports at which examinations for certificates as master and mate are held in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, &c., courses of instruction given by qualified surgeons on board merchant vessels will be accepted by the St. John Ambulance Association as qualifying the candidate for examination for their certificate of proficiency in first aid, provided the surgeon certifies that he has followed the syllabus of instruction laid down by the association.

40. The St. Andrew’s Ambulance Association also will accept instruction by a ship’s surgeon on board ship as qualifying a candidate for examination for their certificate of proficiency in first aid, provided their syllabus is followed. In this case the candidate must previously have enrolled and obtained an attendance card from the local secretary of the association or the head office at 176 West Regent Street, Glasgow.

41. It will not be necessary for the candidate for a certificate as master or mate in all cases to produce the formal certificate of proficiency in first aid issued by the associations. In order to prevent delay in proceeding with the examination for the certificate as master or mate and in the issue of the certificate to successful candidates, the special mercantile marine linen certificate issued by the St. John Ambulance Association and duly signed by the lecturer, the surgeon examiner, and the association’s local representative, or, in Scotland, a
