Intermediate First Aid-January 7 - 8, 2027

This 14-hour certification course provides in-depth training for higher-hazard workplace environments. Participants will gain mastery in:

• Advanced Life Support: Two-person CPR and AED operation, and managing fluid airway obstructions.
• Trauma Management: Treatment for penetrating chest wounds, flail chest, and pneumothorax.
• Critical Interventions: Proper application of tourniquets for life-threatening bleeding and shock management.
• Injury Care: Immobilizing major fractures, managing burns using the 'rule of nines,' and treating environmental emergencies like heatstroke and hypothermia.

This course is designed for designated first aid attendants at moderate-to-high hazard workplaces (such as construction, forestry, or warehousing) with 20 or more workers. It is also essential for remote worksites located more than 30 minutes from ambulance services. No prior first aid certification (like BFA/OFA 1) is required to enroll.
