Service Description

Introduction: WSIB requirements regarding Standard First Aid Recertification “Ontario’s Workplace Safety and Insurance Board dictates that Standard First Aid (SFA) award holders may recertify just once on a SFA recertification course. To renew SFA subsequently, award holders must repeat the full SFA course. Thereafter, they may renew by alternating recertifications and original courses. To attend a SFA recertification course, the date of the original SFA certification must be within 36 months. If the award holder misses the recert course by even one day, he or she must retake a full two-day course. No exceptions. Award holders may not renew their SFA certificates from another agency on a Lifesaving Society SFA recertification course. They must recertify with the original certifying agency.
