Our facilities have lifeguards, can their certification be accepted as equivalent to any level of OFA under the new regulations?

A National Lifeguard designation will not be considered equivalent to an Intermediate or Advanced first aid certificate unless the National Lifeguard course has been submitted, reviewed, and accepted by WorkSafeBC as an equivalent first aid course.

If/when the National Lifeguard courses are submitted for acceptance by WorkSafeBC and align to the CSA Z1210-17 and B.C. Plus, WorkSafeBC will provide equivalency at that time.
