Guidance – Effective March 15, 2022: Mask use is recommended but not required
The continued spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Canada and around the world continues to understandably raise concerns for you and your families. At CANADIAN FIRST-AID TRAINING, the well-being of our employees, valued customers as well as community members, is of the deepest concern to us. We want you to know that your safety continues to remain our top priority as this situation continues to evolve.
CANADIAN FIRST-AID TRAINING Ltd. is providing training 7 days a week at our training facility.
When it comes to training, the following precautions continue to be enforced and exceed industry standards. Some include:
- Class size has been limited
- Face masks are no longer required but still recommended
- Screening & sanitization requirements upon arrival (details below)
- Updates to classroom procedures (details below)
- Cleaning our facility (details below)
Regarding people entering our facility to get trained:
Upon arrival into our building, screening & sanitization procedures continue to be enforced:

- Temperature: Each student’s temperature will be tested through the use of a wall mounted infrared thermometer that is briefly placed near the forehead. PLEASE BE ADVISED: Participants with a temperature of 38°C or higher will be asked to reschedule. Our staff reserve the right to reschedule participants based on findings.
Face masks:
Mask use is now recommended but not required based on provincial guidance.
Updates to Classroom Procedures:
- Disposable gloves will be used for all practical/hands-on training activities
- Each participant will be provided with their own pocket mask to perform CPR and ventilations

- Alcohol swabs are provided for further disinfection of equipment immediately before use
- All equipment is thoroughly cleaned & sanitized between courses.
Cleaning our facility:
We understand your ongoing concerns during this time, so we continue to take additional steps to keep our space safe for you and your employees when you decide to schedule or reschedule your course at our facility.
