Description
Participants must have a Lifesaving Society Standard First Aid certification to register for this course. If the certification is older than 3 years from the original certification date the participant MUST take a full two day course in accordance with the Ontario Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) rules. The Ontario Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) specifies that Standard First Aid (SFA) award holders may recertify just once on a SFA recertification course. To renew a SFA certification subsequently, WSIB requires you to repeat the full course. Thereafter, you may renew by alternating recertifications and original courses. Materials may be purchased at the facility ( Canadian First Aid Manual).
Course Length: 8 hrs.
