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.
