A Basic First Aid course is a must-have for workplace health and safety programs. MediQuest’s professional Medical Responders teach WorkSafeBC-recognized Basic First Aid (OFA Level 1).
OFA Level 1 is now known as Basic First Aid, although it is still commonly referred to as OFA 1. WorkSafeBC has updated its requirements to align first aid training in British Columbia with the rest of Canada, meaning this course now covers similar material to nationally recognized programs such as Red Cross Emergency First Aid.
This Basic First Aid course provides foundational first aid knowledge and prepares participants to respond to common workplace injuries and medical emergencies
This is a full-day, 8-hour course including scheduled breaks and a lunch period.
Participants are required by WorkSafeBC to be trained on the specific make and model of AED used in their workplace.
This course does not include airway management or oxygen administration.
Red Cross Emergency First Aid is recognized by WorkSafeBC as equivalent to Basic First Aid.
