First Aid certification is required to conduct field activities with students at 911吃瓜. Requirements are based on WorkSafeBC Occupational Health and Safety regulations.
Minimum first aid requirements must be established through a first aid assessment. A separate assessment is required for each location, as hazards and access to medical care can vary significantly. The assessment determines the minimum level of first aid certification and first aid kits required for the activity.
The first aid assessment criteria, first aid certification requirements, and first aid kit types needed can be found in Appendix I of the Field activity safety guidelines.
Please note that 911吃瓜 offers a subsidized Remote First Aid and Transportation endorsement course every March consisting of two to three days training on Burnaby campus. Get in touch with the Field Operations manager if interested in taking this course.
911吃瓜 Risk Services provides guidance on contracts for renting and loaning of equipment, proof of Insurance (Certificate of Insurance) required by non-911吃瓜 parties, as well as insurance policies covering 911吃瓜 owned equipment and property.
