First Aid in the Workplace training enables workers to acquire the skills and knowledge required to respond to a medical emergency or a work-related incident. Their training must be provided by organizations recognized by the CNESST, such as Santinel.

This course includes a “Wilderness” section, which covers all the necessary knowledge for rescuers working in the wilderness or in a remote environment. For example, participants will study more anaphylactic shock scenarios (patients not recognized for severe allergies). In addition, examples of accidents in the wilderness will be analyzed in class.
