As of today, the current first aid guidelines have not been finalized by WorkSafeBC and the Red Cross. This means that the previous equivalencies between OFA1, Emergency First Aid, and Standard First Aid certifications remains valid through to their expiration date if received prior to November 1st.

After November 1st, however, there is no confirmed agreement on the new equivalencies. We are expecting that:

• Emergency First Aid will be equivalent to Basic First Aid.
• Standard First Aid will be equivalent to Intermediate First Aid.

Please note that these changes are not yet legislation. We will continue to update you as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your attention and patience as we navigate these updates.
