OFA Level 2: An Overview of What You Will Learn

Occupational First Aid Level 2 is a first aid course which covers all of the necessary techniques required for an Occupational First Aid Attendant in industry. Although more comprehensive and intense than our level one course, level two is still considered an introductory course, and as such does not require any previous first aid training or experience.

To participate in this 35 hour (one week) course, no previous first aid training is required (OFA Level 1 or 2 is NOT required), nor is there any minimum age requirement if certified after August 1, 2018. However, to be a designated first aid attendant in a workplace under the jurisdiction of WorkSafeBC, an employer must ensure that the attendant is at least 16 years of age. Candidates must be able to comprehend the information presented and physically capable of performing the required skills to be issued an OFA certificate.  Candidates will receive a digital copy of an Occupational First Aid Statement of Fitness upon registration for their review.  This will allow the candidate time to get an OFA Medical Certificate of Fitness from their physician if required. Initial certification requires full participation & course attendance.

Why Take OFA Level 2?

Having employees with first aid training can be a huge benefit to any company. Not only are your staff better prepared to deal with any medical emergency that might arise on the job, it also shows that you as an employer care about your people.

If you’re looking for an occupational first aid course that goes beyond a single day of training (level 1), but are unable to commit to the full 70 hours of level 3, then level 2 may be your best choice. You or your employees will get a full week of first aid training – both at the theoretical (classroom) level as well as practical training.
