Medical response before professional help arrives.
Standard First Aid is the most complete level of first aid training recognised in Canada, including CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (automated external defibrillator) use. It covers initial treatment for injuries, burns, electrical shock, fractures, and cardiac arrest.
In electrical work, the risk of shock and burns makes this training directly relevant, not just a generic compliance box to tick.
Mandatory presence, not optional, on every site.
- Industrial workplaces, per Alberta and BC OHS requirements.
- Crews working in isolated or remote locations, far from medical response.
- Sites requiring a minimum number of certified attendants per shift.
Sixteen hours of hands-on practice, not just theory.
- Scene and casualty assessment: the rescuer’s own safety before taking any action.
- CPR and AED use: adult protocol, with hands-on practice on a manikin and real equipment.
- Bleeding and wound control: including electrical injury and burns.
- Recognising shock and cardiac arrest.
- Basic immobilisation of fractures and musculoskeletal injuries.
Three years, with scheduled refreshers.
Standard First Aid with CPR/AED is valid for three years. Pro Call Electric schedules each technician’s refresher ahead of expiry, without waiting for the client to raise it.
A team that can act, not just report.
- Coverage for isolated crews: technicians on remote sites carry a kit and a valid certificate.
- Part of our SECOR programme: emergency response documented alongside the rest of our safety management system.
- Proactive refresher scheduling: internal expiry tracking, no coverage gaps.
What’s the difference between Standard First Aid and Emergency First Aid?
Emergency First Aid is a shorter, more basic course. Standard First Aid is more complete, includes more hands-on practice hours, and is the standard required on most industrial worksites.
Does the certificate include CPR and AED?
Yes, the Standard First Aid certification Pro Call Electric’s team holds includes a CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) module.
How long does the certificate last?
Three years from the course completion date.
