This course covers the skills in the Level 1, Level 2 and Transportation Endorsement courses and adds more time to develop confidence and competence in the essential skill areas. Participants will be able to: triage patients according to the rapid transport category model, perform two-operator CPR, stabilize protruding eye injuries, provide treatments for penetrating chest injuries, immobilize lower limb fractures and dislocations, manage limb-threatening injuries, rule out spinal injuries by conducting range of motion tests and perform multi-person lifts for transport.
No prerequisites are required. WCB states: “A person must be least 16 years old to qualify for a Level 1, 2, or 3 certificate and in a workplace that requires a Level 2 or 3 attendant, the person must be at least 19 years old. If the attendant is under 19 years old and holds a Level 2 or 3 ticket, he or she may provide treatment under the direct supervision of the unrestricted first aid attendant on site.”
The Community Resource Centre also offers a 20-hour Wilderness and Remote First Aid training course. Individuals or groups interested in taking the course are asked to contact the CRC.
