COVID-19 Screening

The WSIB is releasing safety guidelines for approved first aid providers in order to ensure that any in-person and classroom training can be delivered safely. Businesses and anyone working in Ontario have certain duties and rights under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and its regulations. Businesses should also review and follow any applicable directives and guidance coming from the Chief Medical Officer of Health and Ministry of Health. 

As an approved first aid training provider, MedicAid has developed strategies and measures to eliminate, mitigate, and control the potential for transmission or spread of COVID-19 during in-person training courses.  

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with your responsibilities and complete the mandatory self-screening questionnaire prior to the start of your in-person training.
