Happy Holidays from First Aid Canada

This time of year reminds us why we do what we do.

Behind every first aid kit, AED, and training session is a person—a family, a team, a community. Safety doesn't take a holiday. It's something we carry with us everywhere we go, and we're proud to help Canadians feel confident and prepared all year long.

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to thank the workplaces, health and safety teams, first responders, educators, and families who trust us with their safety and readiness. Your commitment makes a real difference.
Stay warm. Stay prepared. Take care of the people around you.

Wishing you a safe, healthy, and restful holiday season. We'll see you in 2026.

Is your construction site ready for the new AED requirements?

Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario Regulation 157/25 means many construction sites will be legally required to have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) on site.

If you're wondering what AEDs to choose, what accessories you need, or how to store and maintain them properly, you're not alone. There's a lot of confusion around these new requirements.

Here's what you need to know:

The regulations aren't just about having an AED – you also need the right accessories (masks, gloves, scissors, and more) stored properly and protected from dust, moisture, and temperature extremes.

At First Aid Canada, we carry AED solutions for different workplace needs:

- Philips HeartStart OnSite AED – reliable and easy to use
- ZOLL AED Plus – trusted performance with clear feedback
- ZOLL AED 3 Semi Automatic – professional-grade for larger sites
..plus all the pads, spare parts, and accessories to keep your devices ready and compliant.

Need help figuring this out? Our team is here to answer your questions and walk you through what's required for your specific site.

Heart & Stroke’s new CPR guidelines highlight why “children are not just small adults—their physiology and causes of cardiac arrest differ significantly,” says Dr. Farhan Bhanji, Professor of Paediatrics at McGill University. For children and infants, rescue breaths during CPR are crucial—especially in cases like choking or drowning.

With 60,000 cardiac arrests outside hospitals annually in Canada, quick action is vital. For adults, chest compressions and AED use save lives; for kids, adding breaths can make all the difference.

🇨🇦 Fire Prevention Week is October 6–12!

Did you know there are over 39,000 fire incidents in Canada every year reported across homes, schools, and offices. Many of those are preventable or cause only minor injuries—if we're prepared.

🔥 Top Tips for Treating Minor Burns vs. When to Seek Medical Help
For small burns (first-degree or small second-degree): cool the area under running water for 10–20 minutes, apply a sterile burn gel or non-stick dressing, and keep it clean.
Seek medical care if: the burn is larger than your palm, blisters cover a large area, it’s on face/hands/feet/genitals, or it shows signs of infection (swelling, increasing pain, pus).

🧰 Fire Prevention Essentials You Should Always Have:
Fire blankets • Burn gel & water-gel dressings • Smoke alarms checked • Escape plan rehearsed

Stay safe, prepared, and protected by ensuring you have the essentials by visiting www.firstaidcanada.com
