New Member Spotlight – Emergency First Aid Training

The BMCC is so happy to welcome another new member this week, Emergency First Aid Training.

Emergency First Aid Training (EFAT) was first established in 2002 and, as a Red Cross affiliate, has provided training in CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) to individuals and businesses throughout Owen Sound, Thornbury, Collingwood, and Meaford. EFAT knows that emergencies can happen at any time, and they are proud to teach the lifesaving skills necessary to respond quickly and with confidence.

First aid training is also a requirement of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), with which most businesses in Ontario are required to be registered. The majority of the courses that EFAT offers are a hybrid of online instruction, followed by a session of in-person training to properly demonstrate correct first aid techniques. This means that employers and staff can learn the skills they need to ensure a safe workplace, with a minimum amount of time spent away from work.
