First aid in the workplace is a mandatory training for all businesses—did you know that?

The CNESST is responsible for the administration and enforcement of the laws and regulations governing occupational health and safety in Quebec. Regulations on minimum standards for first aid (“Le Règlement sur les normes minimales de premiers secours et de premiers soins”) require the employer of an establishment or the principal contractor of a construction site to guarantee, on the work site and during working hours, a minimum number of first-aid personnel as well as an effective first-aid service.

As a supplier to the CNESST , Santinel can help your company benefit, under certain conditions, from the grant program supporting first-aid training in the workplace.

Dynamic and interesting

Thank you so much! We liked our training very much. It was interesting and we have learned new things that we never heard in other training courses. The instructor was dynamic, interesting, and she was answering all our questions. Bravo!

The notions came back to me quickly

I recently intervened with a lady who had injured her head. I was really surprised at how quickly what I had learned in my lessons came back to me. The craziest thing about the story is that my brother, who works in the emergency room in St-Jerome, was present when the lady arrived. He told me that my bandage had been done very well since the paramedics had decided to keep it for transport to the hospital. All this thanks to my lessons with Santinel!
