Canada Standards

General Duty of Employer, R.S.C., c. L-2: “Every employer shall ensure that the health and safety at work of every person employed by the employer is protected.”
SOR/86-304: First Aid

Why Do I Need Training?

In line with regulations, employers are required to provide a workplace that "is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees."

When it comes to refresher training, Canada’s standard in some instances is very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is STOP THE BLEED?

STOP THE BLEED is an awareness campaign meant to encourage bystanders to become trained and qualified to perform first aid while they wait for emergency services to arrive. In turn, this will help lower the number of preventable deaths that result from uncontrolled bleeding.

What are the two goals of stop the bleed?

There are a couple of goals for stop the bleed. The first is to inform people of how often preventable deaths occur, both in and out of the workplace. This awareness brings us to the second goal, which is to encourage people to become trained to handle basic trauma in an emergency situation.

Why is it important to stop the bleeding?

As we mentioned, uncontrolled bleeding leads to preventable deaths. Emergency services may be quick to respond, but it still takes time for them to arrive on the scene and save the victim. More often than not, people die from blood loss minutes before emergency services arrive. However, bystanders and witnesses who are trained (and certified) to perform first aid and can treat trauma wounds can be the literal difference between life and death.

What are 3 types of bleeding?

There are three types of bleeding you may encounter, depending on what type of blood vessel is damaged. Capillary bleeding is the least severe and is the result of minor skin breaks or damage, such as papercuts. Venous bleeding occurs when a vein is torn or severed, and has the potential to become life-threatening if not treated properly. Lastly is arterial bleeding, which is the most severe and the hardest to control. Arterial bleeds come straight from the artery and can cause death from blood loss within minutes.
