Bronze Cross & Intermediate Workplace First Aid

Participants must be 13 by the first day of the program. Bronze Cross begins the transition from lifesaving to lifeguarding and prepares candidates for responsibilities as assistant lifeguards. Candidates strengthen and expand their lifesaving skills and begin to apply the principles and techniques of active surveillance in aquatic facilities. Bronze Cross emphasizes the importance of teamwork and communication in preventing and responding to aquatic emergencies. Bronze Cross is a prerequisite for National Lifeguard and to be a Swim for Life Instructor. The Nova Scotia Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration recognizes this course. Includes CPR-C certification. Intermediate Workplace First Aid provides comprehensive training covering all first aid and CPR aspects. Intermediate Workplace First Aid incorporates all Basic Workplace First Aid. It is designed for those who require a more in-depth understanding of first aid, including the legal implications of first aid treatment, spinal injuries, heat and cold injuries, bone and joint injuries, abdominal and chest injuries, burns, and medical emergencies.
