FAQs
Why can’t my attendant give Tylenol or cold medication?
Tylenol and cold medication are not medications approved to be administered by field medics. Sometimes the side affects of using these types of medications outweigh the benefits, and since it’s not within protocol for Canadian industrial paramedics to administer them, we do not carry them. The best treatment for a cold is plenty of rest and fluids.
Can an OFA3 work in Alberta?
An OFA3 (Occupational First Aid Attendants) are advanced first aiders and fall under the WorkSafeBC agency. The OFA3 attendant can practice in Alberta if the school they attended is listed on the WorksafeBC site as a provincially recognized training centre. Medic companies such as ours ensure we’re hiring only from approved agencies to ensure all our staff can work in both Alberta and BC.
