Community Education & Workplace Training

WorksafeBC and Red Cross recognize that the current COVID-19 outbreak and related mitigation measures present unique circumstances and challenges to first aid training agencies and students.  As a result, any Occupational First Aid, Red Cross or equivalent certificates, which are due to expire between March 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020, will be granted an extension for 90 days beyond their original expiry date.
