Public classes run daily from our Coquitlam campus — a straight shot east on Lougheed Highway — and on-site corporate training is available anywhere in Burnaby, New Westminster or the Sapperton healthcare corridor.

Serving Burnaby's industrial corridors — Big Bend, Willingdon & Lake City

Burnaby's economy runs on its industrial parks. Big Bend along the Fraser River, the Willingdon commercial corridor, and Lake City Way in North Burnaby are packed with warehousing, food processing, light manufacturing, logistics and marine services. Every one of those workplaces needs certified First Aid attendants, forklift operators and workers ticketed in Fall Protection or Confined Space depending on the hazard rating. Metro Safety Training partners with Burnaby employers to run public seats at our Coquitlam campus (a 15-minute drive east) and to deliver private on-site training at Burnaby warehouses and yards. We handle recurring annual renewals, new-hire certifications, and one-off catch-up sessions when a worker's OFA or forklift card is about to expire.

Red Cross BLS & CPR for Burnaby healthcare providers

Burnaby Hospital, Fellburn Care Centre, George Derby Centre and the many community-care and home-support agencies operating out of the Willingdon and Metrotown areas all require staff to hold current CPR-HCP or Red Cross BLS cards. Metro Safety runs Basic Life Support certification and recertification classes weekly, plus Standard First Aid with CPR-C for support staff who need the WorkSafeBC-recognized combination. BCIT — headquartered in Burnaby — routes its Nursing, Health Sciences, and Environmental Health students to us regularly for missed BLS dates and for last-minute recerts. All our BLS cards are Canadian Red Cross–issued and accepted throughout BC.

OFA Level 1, 2 & 3 for Burnaby construction and industrial sites

Any Burnaby construction project or industrial workplace employing more than a handful of workers needs an OFA attendant at the level required by WorkSafeBC's schedule. Metro Safety Training certifies Basic First Aid (OFA 1) daily, Intermediate First Aid (OFA 2) regularly, and Advanced First Aid (OFA 3) — the 14-day certification required for medium-to-high hazard workplaces — continuously on both full-time and part-time (evening/weekend) schedules. For OFA 3 attendants working isolated or remote Burnaby sites, we add the Transportation Endorsement (TE). Renewals (AFA-R for OFA 3 holders) run monthly, so your existing attendants never let a ticket lapse.

How Burnaby students and employers reach us

Our Coquitlam campus at 914 Sherwood Avenue is 15 minutes east of Metrotown by car via Highway 1 (Exit 44 – Brunette) or Lougheed Highway. Burnaby students commuting by transit take the Millennium Line SkyTrain from Production Way–University, Lake City Way, Sperling–Burnaby Lake or Lougheed Town Centre directly to Coquitlam Central, then the 151 or 152 bus one stop to Sherwood Avenue — total commute usually under 40 minutes even from Metrotown. For Burnaby employers who prefer to keep crews on-site, we bring instructors, manikins, AEDs and paperwork to your Burnaby warehouse, office, care facility or job site anywhere in the city.
