You never know when an ordinary day might turn into an emergency, but you can always be prepared.

When Dwayne collapsed, quick thinking, and CPR made all the difference. Strangers became rescuers, and training turned into action. Because someone knew what to do, Dwayne was able to go home, see his daughter get married, and continue making memories with his family.

When the unexpected happens, calm and confident action makes all the difference. First aid training isn't just for professionals; it’s for parents, coworkers, neighbors, and everyday people who want to be ready to help.

With proper training, anyone can make a life-changing difference. Take a first aid course and be prepared for anything!

🩹 A first aid kit is an essential safety tool designed to help manage emergencies and injuries quickly and effectively.

Although first aid kit supplies vary depending on the type and size of the kit, they all serve the same purpose: to provide immediate care for minor injuries and manage emergencies until professional help arrives. While the specific contents may differ based on use or location, most kits are designed to support basic treatment, safety, and cleanliness in everyday first aid situations.

Familiarizing yourself with the items in your kit and understanding how to use them will enable you to respond with confidence when it matters most.

Take a look at our first aid kits here https://sja.ca/en/products?type=kit.

💚 Heart attack vs. cardiac arrest: What’s the difference?

A heart attack is a circulatory problem caused by blocked blood flow to the heart. The heart is still beating, and the person is usually conscious.

Cardiac arrest is an electrical problem where the heart suddenly stops beating effectively, causing the person to collapse and lose consciousness. It requires immediate CPR and an AED.

Understanding the difference helps you recognize emergencies and respond appropriately.
