FAQ
How long does your First Aid Training Take?
Because the First Aid Course is interactive with demonstration and skills testing, the class generally takes 2 hours.
What should I do to protect myself while administering first aid?
The first step to protecting yourself in an emergency situation is to make sure that the scene is safe. If it is determined that first aid is needed, always wear personal protective equipment, also known as PPE. These items may include gloves, face mask or shield, eye protection and a gown.
What does PPE stand for?
PPE is an acronym for personal protective equipment. PPE is worn to help minimize exposure to health and safety risks in the workplace. Some examples of PPE include masks, face shields, gloves and gowns.
Can I reuse gloves if I don’t get blood on them?
No, gloves should never be reused because you may not see traces of blood or body fluids on them. Always properly remove and dispose of gloves.
Is it okay to use latex gloves when offering first aid assistance?
Non-latex gloves should always be used. Many people are allergic to latex and should not come in contact with the material. Also, latex can be released into the air when gloves are handled.
