Experience-based programs
Rarely had citizen First Aid had been rendered before my ambulance arrived on scene. Often, simple First Aid actions, like bleeding control or putting the victim in the recovery position could have made a significant difference. These experiences led me to become a First Aid instructor, way back in 1993, with the National Safety Council. Several years later, changes in the National Safety Council program no longer qualified it for certification in Ontario. So I created my own First Aid Training course, and was accredited by the Workers Compensation Board, the forerunner of the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.
