Standards and rules for first aid in events in Quebec

Par Cedric Pharand Le 2021-09-22

The presence of rescuers or persons authorized to carry out first aid is essential during a sporting, corporate, or other event. Their intervention helps to optimize the chances of survival or recovery of victims, regardless of the severity of the accident and injuries.

 

First aid in events in Quebec

No one is immune to accidents, especially during a public event where a large crowd mingles. The presence of first aiders or accredited first responders to intervene quickly and effectively in the event of an incident is therefore essential.

Thanks to the training they have followed, they have the skills required to perform first aid and administer the necessary care in order to stabilize the condition of the victims while awaiting their transfer to a hospital or so that they can resume their activities, if possible.

They are also able to properly handle first aid equipment such as cardiac defibrillator or oxygen.

What about workplace safety?

According to the Workplace First Aid Program established by the CNESST, employers must designate a defined number of workers, based on the total workforce, who will be required to take first aid training.

In addition to their usual duties, they are responsible for intervening quickly in the event of an incident while awaiting the intervention of paramedics. Also, each establishment must have several first aid kits and equip all vehicles with them.
