There are over 40 publicly accessed AEDs (automated external defibrillators) installed throughout Humber campuses and buildings. Additional AEDs were installed in the LRC and the new F building expansion. As a continuation of the AED initiative, and to complement the presence of Public Safety security guards who are trained in first aid, we continue to look at growing a roster of Humber employees who are trained in CPR and the use of AEDs throughout all Humber buildings. HRS|Health and Safety Services have been scheduling a series of CPR/AED courses focusing on members from Humber’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) and the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee (JOHSC). Our courses are open to Humber College employees, particularly those who work in close proximity to an AED.

The following First Aid, CPR and AED training courses have been scheduled:

1. Standard First Aid (includes CPR/AED)

• North Campus (Room H407), Thu, May 26 and Fri, May 27, 2016, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• North Campus (Room H407), Thu, Jun 16 and Fri, Jun 17, 2016, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

2. CPR-C/AED 

• North Campus (Room E453), Mon, Jun 20, 2016, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

First Aid & CPR/AED Course (two days):

This comprehensive course offers first aid and CPR skills for those who need training for work requirements or who want more knowledge to respond to emergencies at home. The course covers a variety of topics from basic (circulation and breathing emergencies, and prevention of disease transmission) to in-depth topics (sudden medical emergencies and injuries to the head and/or spine). Successful completion leads to a Standard First Aid and CPR certification from the Canadian Red Cross.

The First Aid & CPR/AED course is highly recommended for members of the ERT and the JOHSC, as well as Humber employees who work in locations away from the main campuses (i.e. Fashion Institute).   

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and AED Training (half-day):

This 5 hour CPR/AED course will be provided by a Red Cross First Aid/CPR instructor and is intended to provide the skills and confidence needed to recognize and respond to cardiovascular emergencies and choking, either in the workplace or at home. The course will also familiarize you with the AEDs that have been installed on campus and how to use them. Successful completion leads to a CPR certification from the Canadian Red Cross. 

To Register: Please email Humaira Pirooz at humaira.pirooz@humber.ca and state the session that you would like to attend. Ensure your manager has approved your attendance before you sign up.   

Please note that those with a current First Aid or CPR/AED certificate are not eligible for this training.
