First Aid - More Information

First Aid Comes to You (FACTY) is designed for those groups (student associations, clubs, teams, department staff, friends, etc) that would like to take a course together.  YOU select the course, YOU select the date and we provide the Trainer and all the equipment.  Contact Karin Browne at karin.browne@uwaterloo.ca for more information.

In accordance with the WSIB Regulations, Standard First Aid (SFA) award holders may recertify their Lifesaving Society SFA certification just once on a Lifesaving Society SFA Recertification Course not more than three years from the SFA date of issue. To renew SFA certifications subsequently, award holders must repeat the full SFA Course. Thereafter, individuals may renew by alternating recertifications and original courses.  The uWaterloo Warrior Recreation “SFA Re course” can also be used.

Holders of Standard First Aid certificates from other agencies, and those who have expired cards, may not recertify their certificate on a Lifesaving Society recertification course. They may recertify only with the original certifying agency or by attending a full SFA course offered by Warrior Recreation.

"Ontario’s Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) has advised its recognized first aid providers to comply with WSIB requirements regarding recertification of Standard First Aid. All first aid providers must comply. The Lifesaving Society disagrees with this requirement but is altering its recertification procedure for Standard First Aid (only) to be in compliance. The Society continues to liaise with WSIB and other first aid providers regarding the rationale underlying the WSIB requirement and alternatives to it."
