Protect the lives of all employees with the WorksafeBC-approved Occupational First Aid Course - Intermediate First Aid (Level 2)
Course Description and Goals
Our Intermediate First Aid of the Occupational First Aid Course (OFA) is a two-day program that deepens one's knowledge of first aid and the duties behind it. This course goes into extensive detail about managing critical interventions for conscious or unconscious patients after an occupational emergency.
Students will be able to check breathing, circulatory, and airway health with C-Spine control assessment, as well as specific examination and medical emergency treatment. The content also covers how to take patients' medical histories during risky situations.
Approved by WorkSafeBC, the second step of first aid training is also recommended for places near a healthcare centre. With this in mind, the course provides more complex medical content for the students to stabilize patients with severe conditions after high-risk workplace emergencies.
Imparted by highly-prepared instructors, this program teaches an intense and comprehensive series of skills and techniques to prepare candidates for fires, work accidents, and other occupational disasters.
Our OFA Intermediate First Aid (Level 2) program includes all the books and materials required to attend the course. After completing all the theoretical classes and practices, as well as the tests, students will receive a WorkSafeBC certificate valid for three years, which can also allow the candidate to get a Medical Certificate of Fitness from a physician if required.
