Certified First Aid Attendant

Certified Occupational First Aid

Certified First Aid Attendant

First off, as a trained and experienced, Certified First Aid Attendant, OFA III, it's well recognised that conducting First Aid on a worker means the safety program has failed. Being a Site Safety Professional, my first duty is the prevention of Accidents, Incidents and Worker Injuries. This is achieved by utilizing over n30 years of construction experience, additional training and Certifications and a exceptional aptitude for the task. However, understanding that nothing is 100% perfect, if  worst case scenario  occurs, your working crew will be well taken care of with my OFA III Experience, Knowledge and Passion for the Health and Safety of Workers. 

Legal Requirements

As a result, the business owner and /or employer, are obligated to follow the regulations. Hence, WorkSafe BC Regulations 3.16 states you have to provide for each workplace such as equipment, supplies, facilities, first aid attendants, and services as are adequate and appropriate. Schedule 3-A Minimum Levels of First Aid will illustrate the Occupational First Aid Level 3 requirements needed for your site. Consequently, the required supplies and criteria for your facility can be exhausting to develop and coordinate. Finally, I can help mitigate some or all of that responsibility.

Security 

In some circumstances, the site safety professional / First Aider Level 3 has the ability to stay in this truck overnight thereby acting as site security overnight as well.  This can also be a large cost-saving measure. We all know those traditional stories and have seen the results. Security guards only drive by a few times a night. Most won't walk through a site after dark as well. Not to mention they rarely have the proper PPE for such an undertaking. What happens next, materials and tools go missing. With high powered LED flashlights and the new See Me Now LED Hard Hat, security at night is a well-lit up affair.
