Course Description
WSIB Approved Training Provider · Ontario Reg. 1101 · CSA Z1210:24
First aid training built for the real world — not just a certificate.
Traditional first aid courses are designed for low-risk urban settings. But in construction, industrial, and manufacturing environments, the likelihood and severity of injury are greater — and the time to definitive care is longer. That means you as the responder may need to manage a casualty on your own, for longer, without immediate backup.
This course goes beyond certification. We want to make sure you feel genuinely confident in your skills and can perform them under pressure — preparing you for the real situations your workplace actually presents.
Important
This course includes practical components. Participants will be on the ground and physically active. Multi-trauma scenarios use artificial blood products — please wear clothing that can get dirty or stained.
Canadian Safety Group
Platinum Award Winning Course 2021, 2022, and 2023! Meets and exceeds CSA Z1220 and WSIB regulation 1101.
Traditional first aid courses are designed for low-risk urban settings where risk is minimal. In construction, industrial, manufacturing, and mining work, we know that both the likelihood and severity of illness or injury are greater due to the nature of the activities we engage in and the environment we work in. The situation is then compounded by an extended period of time to definitive care, meaning YOU as the responder must be able to deal with the casualty for longer.
This course is not just about getting your certificate; we want to make sure you feel confident in your skills, and that you can perform them under pressure, preparing you for real world situations.
