The Canadian Standards Association: CSA Standard Z1210–17

CSA Z1210-17 is a standardization of Workplace First Aid certifications in Canada. This standardization includes both the Training Curriculum and Certification and First Aid kit requirements for workplaces.

The Canadian Red Cross has adopted the CSA guidelines into their training program to allow for a more nationally recognized certificate as more provinces/territories adopt the CSA standards. With this adoption of standards, the Canadian Red Cross certification you will receive through Powell River First Aid will show the CSA certification listed as well.
