First Aid Training and Information

First Aid in the Workplace / Secourisme en milieu de travail

Designed and subsidized by the Government of Quebec*, this course is mandatory for Quebec establishments. *Commission des normes, de l'茅quit茅, de la sant茅 et de la s茅curit茅 du travail [CNESST]

To Register:

Basic instructions:

  • Participants may bring and wear a surgical / procedural mask for the entire length of the training in person, 14 hours. Note: CNESST has lift-off the obligation to wear it.
  • Medic (training company) could provide: one pair of gloves (medium for the CPR practice on the Mannequin), plus one kit of bandages for a practice session on oneself. The instructor will provide detailed instructions (how and when to use).
  • Lunch: free period - you may take this inside or outside the training room.
  • All practice sessions being held are mandatory. It hits at bare minimum two birds with one stone: (1) provide an opportunity for the instructor to correct and evaluate each participant on their technical/theoretical knowledge; and (2) assist the entire group in learning best practices and procedures through the method of repeating and learning from each other鈥檚 mistakes.
  • Health Questionnaires (not applicable at this time)
