Standard First Aid & CPR Level A

Course Length - 2 Days

This program will provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond to a medical emergency in the workplace. A prompt response can save lives, reduce the severity of injury, and speed the recovery process. This reduces the amount of time lost due to workplace injuries, and lowers the resulting costs. Trained employees have also been shown to be more safety conscious in general, therefore reducing the number of incidents. This program meets the criteria outlined in Regulation 1101 for a valid St Johns Standard First Aid Certificate or its equivalent.

• Level “A”
