Professional Safety Training Services in Ontario
Rescue Plus Safety Training Specialists provide safety training programs that teach adults and children life-saving skills. We have been serving the GTA since 1989. Our first aid and CPR programs teach the skills necessary to assess and treat an injured or ill patient until medical help arrives. We provide certification programs to meet the requirements of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB Regulation 1101), Heart & Stroke, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. With a background in workplace safety and injury prevention, Rescue Plus tailors programs that help prepare participants in the area of their specialized skills.
The Rescue Plus trainers will travel to the location of your choice or a dedicated Durham facility.
Our community-based first aid and CPR programs are also available through Durham College’s Centre for Professional and Part-Time Learning.
We are taking all the necessary precautions to reduce the chances of being infected by COVID-19.
COVID-19 Information
WSIB Approved First Aid & CPR Training During COVID-19
Due to COVID-19, in-class training for first aid and CPR procedures will change and be updated regularly, based on the advice of the regulatory body in our region. Rescue Plus will be performing and enforcing best practices for disease control, physical distancing and risk reduction of the spread of COVID-19 during all classes.
To help students get back to training, we are now offering blended learning. Half of the certification can be completed online to minimize the time spent in the classroom. This is an option for all WSIB accredited Lifesaver 101 first aid and CPR programs offered by Rescue Plus (authorized provider). We are also offering three online heart and stroke BLS (basic life support) CPR training options.
When booking a class, please check with Rescue Plus to find out the newest safety protocol for attending class sessions. Times have changed and so have we.
