A concussion does not require a loss of consciousness. That's one of the most dangerous myths in workplace safety.

An employee takes a knock, says they feel fine, and goes back to work. Hours later, symptoms set in — headache, confusion, light sensitivity, nausea. By then, they've been pushing through an injury that needed rest.

Signs to watch for after a head impact:
Headache or pressure in the skull
Confusion or slowed thinking
Balance problems
Sensitivity to light or noise
Memory gaps around the event

If any of these appear, the person should stop work, be monitored, and be cleared by a medical professional before returning.

We include concussion recognition in our workplace first aid training — because what you do in the first hour matters.

Watching someone have a seizure is frightening. Not knowing what to do makes it worse.

Most people's instinct is to restrain the person or put something in their mouth. Both are wrong — and both can cause harm.

Here is what actually helps:
Clear the area around them. Protect their head with something soft. Time the seizure. Turn them onto their side once the shaking stops. Stay with them and call 9-1-1 if it lasts more than 5 minutes, if they don't regain consciousness, or if it's their first seizure.

That's it. Stay calm, keep them safe, and get help.

We train Alberta workplaces to respond to medical emergencies like this with confidence. Book a session for your team.

Anaphylaxis can kill in minutes. It can also be stopped in minutes — if someone nearby knows what to do.

Signs include facial and lip swelling, a sensation of the throat closing, difficulty breathing, rash, vomiting, dizziness, and changes in level of consciousness. (American Heart Association)

If a coworker carries an epinephrine auto-injector, a trained first aider should be ready to help them self-administer it at the first sign of a reaction. (American Heart Association )

Then call 9-1-1 immediately. The medication buys time — it does not replace emergency care.
Food, medications, insect stings — anaphylaxis can be triggered by things people encounter in any workplace.

Is your team ready for it?

More Canadians are living with diabetes than ever before — and most of them are in your workplace.

A diabetic emergency can look a lot like intoxication: confusion, shaking, slurred speech, sudden aggression. It's easy to misread, and that delay costs time you don't have.

Two things to know:
Low blood sugar acts fast. The person may be sweating, disoriented, or unable to speak clearly. If they're conscious, give them something sweet and call for help.
High blood sugar builds slower but can still become critical. Watch for extreme thirst, confusion, and rapid breathing.

In either case, if you're unsure — call 9-1-1. That's always the right call.
We cover diabetic emergencies as part of our standard workplace first aid certification. It's one of the most common calls first aiders face.

Poisoning is one of the most underestimated workplace emergencies.

It doesn't always look like what you see in movies. It can be a chemical exposure, a medication reaction, or carbon monoxide — quiet, fast, and deadly if the people around you don't know the signs.

What to watch for:
Sudden dizziness or confusion
Nausea and vomiting with no obvious cause
Unconsciousness or difficulty breathing

The first few minutes are everything. Knowing how to respond — and what information to give 9-1-1 — saves lives.

We cover poisoning response as part of our workplace first aid certification. Your team should know this.

Canada just updated its CPR guidelines for the first time in 5 years.

Here's what changed and why it matters for your team.

Approximately 60,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in Canada every year — one every nine minutes. Survival rates sit below 1 in 10, but doing CPR and using an AED can double the chance of survival.

The 2025 update puts renewed emphasis on rescue breaths alongside chest compressions — especially for children and in cases involving drowning, choking, or opioid-related emergencies.
If your team was certified before 2025, their training may already be out of date.

We deliver Heart and Stroke certified training built on the latest guidelines. Get your team current.

Alberta winters don't mess around — and neither should your emergency response plan.
If your team works outdoors, in warehouses, or anywhere the temperature drops, hypothermia and frostbite are real risks. And they can escalate fast.

Signs your coworker may be in trouble:
Shivering that suddenly stops (not a good sign)
Slurred speech or confusion
Skin that's white, waxy, or hard to the touch

First response matters before EMS arrives. Knowing what to do — and what not to do — can be the difference.

Every 9 minutes, someone in Canada goes into cardiac arrest.
And stroke can happen to anyone — at any age, at any workplace.
The difference between a full recovery and permanent damage often comes down to one thing: how fast the people around you act.
FAST is the acronym every Alberta worker should know:
Face drooping
Arm weakness
Speech difficulty
Time to call 9-1-1
Your team doesn't need to be medical professionals. They just need to know what to look for.
That's exactly what we cover in our workplace first aid training. Book a session before you need it.
