Focus On: First Aid Training

Training your first aid attendants and first responders is a required part of every first aid program. But do you know what exactly should be covered or what training methods to use? Hazards are present at all worksites, from offices to mines. So too are the chances of injuries and illnesses. Sudden cardiac arrest, severe bleeding, shock, a near-drowning, or lack of oxygen during confined space work are all life-threatening emergencies. Without prompt and properly performed first aid a victim of any of these situations will very likely die or be permanently disabled while waiting for emergency services to arrive and begin care.

Handling Work Refusals and Avoiding Reprisal Complaints

March 27th, 2019 | One of the most powerful protections for employees under the Occupational Health and Safety Act is the right to refuse unsafe work. While the right to refuse unsafe work has proven to be an essential element of safeguarding workplace safety, it has also been improperly used as a tool for other, non-safety related ends by employees and organized labour. Employers must navigate these treacherous waters, ensuring that legitimate work refusals are dealt with appropriately, while preventing abuse of this significant power.
