First Aid
The Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) recognizes the
Lifesaving Society's Standard and Emergency First Aid programs. Our
first aid programs also satisfy the first aid requirements in the
Ontario Public Pools Regulation. The Lifesaving Society first aid
program is used to train aquatic candidates as well
as non-aquatic staff for camps, playgrounds, maintenance,
etc., as well as the general public.

home, work or play. The Lifesaving Society offers three levels
of training:
- Basic First Aid
- Emergency First Aid
- Standard First Aid
The Lifesaving Society also offers:

Recent CPR
Changes
Changes in resuscitation and CPR protocols are made every 5
years based on a review of the latest scientific research. The most
recent changes - Guidelines for CPR & Emergency
Cardiovascular Care (ECC) - were released in October 2010 by
the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation and the
American Heart Association.
The changes are designed to make it easier for rescuers and
health care providers alike to learn, remember and perform
effective CPR.
The Lifesaving Society announced the changes and new standards
for its training programs in Push Hard, Push Fast
- the special insert in the summer 2011 Lifeliner. Watch the Society's CPR Update on
YouTube.
First Aid Update Clinic
The Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) requires all
first aid training agencies to provide an update session for its
instructors to review and practice the revised CPR protocols -
including AED requirements which are being integrated into CPR,
Emergency First Aid, and Standard First Aid certifications.
