Additional Safety Knowledge
Alberta Workplace First Aid Requirements
Alberta OHS First Aid Regulation categorises workplaces by hazard type (low, medium, high) and distance from an emergency medical facility. Requirements scale from a Type 1 first aid kit for low-hazard offices to a full first aid room with a trained attendant and rescue equipment for remote high-hazard sites. Every employer must post the names of designated first aiders and maintain a first aid record book.
The Primary Survey — ABCDE
Every first aid response follows a standard primary survey to identify life-threatening conditions in priority order:
- A — Airway: is it clear? Foreign object, tongue, swelling? Perform head-tilt/chin-lift if no spinal injury suspected.
- B — Breathing: is the casualty breathing normally? Look, listen, feel for 10 seconds.
- C — Circulation: check for signs of life, severe bleeding, shock.
- D — Disability: level of consciousness (AVPU: Alert, Voice-responsive, Pain-responsive, Unresponsive), neurological signs.
- E — Environment/Exposure: protect from environment, expose injuries for assessment, prevent hypothermia.
CPR — Current Guidelines
Adult CPR: compressions at 100–120 per minute, depth of 5–6 cm (2–2.4 inches), full recoil between compressions, minimise interruptions. Compression-to-ventilation ratio is 30:2 for single rescuers. Child (1 year to puberty): use one or two hands depending on size, compress about 1/3 the depth of the chest. Infant (under 1 year): use two fingers, compress 4 cm (1.5 inches). AED should be applied as soon as available — every minute of delay reduces survival by 7–10%.
Why Alberta Employers Choose Our First Aid And Cpr — Certification Levels
Alberta workplace first aid levels: Emergency First Aid (basic, 8 hours, 3-year validity), Standard First Aid (comprehensive, 16 hours, 3-year validity), and Advanced First Aid or Wilderness First Aid for remote workplaces. CPR levels A (adult), C (adult/child/infant), and BLS/HCP (healthcare provider level with two-rescuer CPR). Recertification must be completed before expiry — expired tickets require full retraining.
