Standard First Aid & CPR Certification
APPROVED PROGRAM
Hespro is an authorized Training Centre for EMP Canada which is an Approved WSIB First Aid Program.
Who Should Attend
Employees who are to be the Certified First Aid providers for their workplace. This workshop may also be of benefit to employees who work in small groups or high risk areas, remote from immediate medical aid (e.g., field staff).
Overview
Upon successful completion of this two-day workshop, employees will receive a Standard First Aid/Heart Saver CPR Certificate, which is valid for 3 years. Employees may renew this certificate once by attending a one-day Standard First Aid/ Heart Saver CPR Re-Certification course. The workshops consist of a minimum of 13 hours of instruction time for up to 25 participants, including testing (written and practical test).
Program design
This course is flexible and versatile in adapting to the needs of participants. Scenarios are utilized to be consistent with the work environments of participants (ie. office workers inner city vs field workers in Algonquin Park). The delivery is lively and fun, in a non-threatening environment and participants are evaluated and assisted throughout to minimize the anxiety associated with practical examination. Humour is used generously to maintain a relaxed atmosphere, and participants are encouraged to share their experiences. Each segment is delivered in a step-by-step logical fashion; theory, demonstration, and practice. The application of adult learning principles results in a highly interactive atmosphere. All of the essentials are covered from recognizing, assessing and controlling hazards to the application of life saving techniques.
The focus on learning is to consolidate a group of skills that can be applied in any emergency situation. This consolidation allows participants to be confident in the application of their skills and remain calm in highly charged situations; in the office, in the field, or in a restaurant with their families. Participants are encouraged to share their own experiences and the group is briefed on the importance of maintaining confidentiality.
