Intermediate First Aid - October 15 - 16, 2026

This WorkSafeBC-approved course is designed for high-hazard workplaces and remote job sites where professional medical help may be delayed. Unlike Basic First Aid, the Intermediate level provides in-depth training on life-threatening emergencies. Through a mix of theory and hands-on scenarios, students will master:

• Trauma Management: Advanced treatment for flail chest, pneumothorax, and sucking chest wounds.
• Bleeding Control: Internal bleeding management, major wound care, and proper tourniquet application.
• Life Support: Two-person CPR and AED operation for adults.
• Injury Assessment: Spinal management, fracture immobilization (including ankle spica wraps), and burn assessment using the rule of nines.
• Environmental Emergencies: Recognizing and treating heatstroke, hypothermia, and poisonings.

This course is essential for designated first aid attendants in industries such as construction, forestry, manufacturing, and warehousing. It is specifically required for workplaces that fall under Schedule 3-A of the BC OHS Regulation where hazard levels or worker counts exceed Basic First Aid requirements. Whether you are a worker in Surrey looking to advance your skills or a Vancouver employer ensuring safety compliance, this 2-day session provides the necessary certification to keep your team safe.
