Request quoteNot sure which course matches your situation?
The Saskatchewan framework gives most workplaces a clear answer once they've done a CSA Z1220-17 risk assessment. If your employer's safety coordinator, JHSC, or HR team has already classified your worksite, take their direction β the assessment they've done already factors in your hazard exposure, distance to definitive medical care, and shift size.
For most moderate and high hazard Saskatchewan workplaces β mining, construction, manufacturing, oil and gas service, large-scale agriculture, structural work β the answer is Standard First Aid with CPR/AED. That's the Class A attendant qualification under the Regulations.
If you're in a healthcare role β Saskatchewan Health Authority, a clinic, a long-term care facility, a U of S nursing or SaskPolytech health program β the answer is almost always BLS for Healthcare Providers. General workplace first aid certificates don't substitute for BLS in clinical contexts.
For low-hazard workplaces, parents, students, and volunteers, Emergency First Aid or one of our CPR-only options is generally enough.
