Standard First Aid

Alberta Labour has adopted the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard Z1210-17 First aid training for the workplace – Curriculum and quality management for training agencies, as well as additional, Alberta- specific training standards (“Alberta Plus”), into its first aid (FA) training approval process.

Western Canada Fire & First Aid’s Standard First Aid course follows the new  CSA standards and the “Alberta Plus” standards.  This instructor-led course is approximately  16-hours  in duration and is spread over 2 days of instruction.

First aid training is focused on basic life support skills and includes AED and Level C (Adult, Child & Infant) CPR  training. Successful candidates will receive a certificate recognized by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety that is valid for 3 years (Note: Western Canada Fire & First Aid Inc. appears on page 7 of the List of Approved Courses). First aid courses are held at Western Canada Fire & First Aid’s training facility in Edmonton, Alberta or onsite at your location for a minimum number of students.

Who Should Attend Standard First Aid?

Western Canada Fire & First Aid’s First aid course is designed for those individuals who live or work in areas where the availability of emergency medical services may be delayed and for those trying to meet Government regulations.
