What did the First Aid Canada Team get up to in 2015?

Happy New Year

What did the First Aid Canada Team get up to in 2015?
 

Happy New Year! 2015 has been an amazing year for the First Aid Canada Team and we thought now would be an excellent time to share some of our favourite moments:

Our first trade show of the year was the Restaurants Canada Show at the Direct Energy Center in Toronto, Ontario. This was the team’s second year attending the show and it was a great success! There was excellent crowd in attendance and even better eats to be enjoyed.

Restaurants Canada Show 2015

We had “Choking Charlie,” at our side helping us give demonstrations to attendees on how to properly help someone recover from a choking incident. Choking is a common accident occurring in the restaurant industry so it was extremely beneficial for service industry professionals to brush up on first aid practices and learn new skills.
 

 Products at The Survival Expo

At the beginning of August the First Aid Canada Team had the pleasure of attending the inaugural tradeshow: The Survival Expo in Niagara Falls. This event was filled with multiple vendors introducing products and adventures. At this event our role as the only First Aid providers was to educate attendees on the importance of being prepared outdoors. We offered products such as our Emergency Survival Kits, Vehicle Distress Kits and Automated External Defibrillators. For more on outdoor safety check out our blog: Outdoor Survival Guide.

TSAR 

On August 22nd, the First Aid Canada team took part in the Toronto Search and Rescue T-SAR 2 Christening Ceremony. The T-SAR 2 Christening Ceremony celebrated the final completion of the vessel and the Toronto Search and Rescue Volunteer Team as a whole. It was a four year process to allocate volunteers, acquire all of the necessary supplies, equipment and organize the launch party (which was a huge success)! As a company, First Aid Canada sponsored a table and contributed oxygen kits and equipment.

We can’t wait for all of the exciting moments 2016 has to bring! If you feel there is an opportunity for to align with the First Aid Canada team feel free to reach out to us: 1-855-322-4243.

How to Make Your Restaurant a Safer Place

Are you in the service industry? Well then this blog is sure to come in handy. Here are some of our greatest tips on how to keep your work environment a safe one:

Blue Detectable Bandages 

Have you ever been served a dish with something unpleasant and unexpected in it, for example, a hair? It completely ruins your meal and sometimes even your entire appetite. Could you imagine finding a bandage in your dish? Horrible thought, isn’t it? First Aid Canada proudly supplies restaurants with blue detectable bandages. These bandages are bright blue in colour and come in a variety of sizes and shapes to best suit your kitchen and prevent accidents. 

Allergies & Epipens

Allergies are becoming more and more prominent and thus, the food service industry must learn to cope with different dietary requests. People with severe allergies are advised to carry an Epipen with them at all times; however in some cases some individuals fail to be prepared. Restaurants should always have an Epipen onsite to prevent liability for anaphylactic shock. First Aid Canada recommends purchasing your Epipen directly from the source: http://www.epipen.ca/

Standard First Aid & CPR Training

Hundreds of people can pass through a single restaurant on any given day and this creates a risk factor for likelihood of facing ant emergency your workplace. It is important to be safe rather than sorry when it comes to medical emergencies and that’s why public places should not only be equipped with the supplies needed to save lives, but the skills. It is recommended that restaurant workers be trained in Standard First Aid and CPR to prevent emergencies.

AEDS

In addition to what is mentioned above it is now becoming more and more prevalent that restaurants contain an Automated External Defibrillator. These devices are not only easy to operate, but they also save lives. In the time it takes for someone to call an ambulance and for the response personal to arrive at the scene, an AED could have already saved that life.

Government Regulation First Aid Kits 

It is mandatory for all workplaces in Canada to have a regulation First Aid Kit which varies in size and contents depending on the industry and number of employees. Here are some of our Standard kits available for the restaurant industry:

First Aid Canada is pleased to offer Deluxe kits which are government regulation kits, identical to those above, but with more products and in some cases more relevant products:
