![Here's what you need to know as a PSW about the upcoming HSCPOA Act [updated June 2024]](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/642dd16fed2f85352e7c6f27/6515a1e89829b4799c716462_c-personal-support-workers-confident-after-first-aid-cpr-training-toronto-brampton.avif)
Effective December 2024, Ontario introduces the Health and Supportive Care Providers Oversight Authority to regulate PSWs, ensuring safe, competent, and ethical care. The new framework includes registration pathways, a public register, and a Code of Ethics, aiming to enhance public trust and quality of care.
Discover the diverse Paramedic job opportunities in Ontario, including frontline roles like Certified Land and Flight Paramedics, as well as related positions in event medical services, patient transfer, and more. Explore non-frontline roles such as Paramedic Educators and Management, alongside non-medical opportunities like logistics and dispatch. Gain valuable experience even before becoming a Paramedic by exploring related jobs that can enhance future job applications.
All businesses in Ontario are required to have at least one first aid certified employee on site at all times, according to Regulation 1101 of the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Act. Additionally, workplaces must provide first aid training based on the number of employees per shift. Bonus: being first aid certified increases your chances of getting hired!

As of June 2024, Ontario's Personal Support Workers (PSWs) are not government regulated, but this will soon change with the HSCPOA Act. While not yet mandated, Standard First Aid and CPR BLS certification is usually required to complete PSW college programs & demanded by employers based on healthcare setting needs and Ontario WSIB regulation 1101.
Being a paramedic is an intense and demanding job that requires quick thinking, adaptability, and the ability to handle high-pressure situations. Despite the challenges, the satisfaction of providing immediate medical assistance and potentially saving lives is unparalleled. Consider Para CPR & First Aid's comprehensive training and support to prepare for this rewarding career.
For security guards in Toronto, having the right level of CPR certification is crucial. Acquiring at least an Emergency First Aid and CPR A Certification is mandatory, but upgrading to advanced certifications like CPR C and Standard First Aid can greatly enhance employment prospects. Employers often require security guards to be prepared for emergencies involving children or infants, making Standard First Aid and CPR Level C certification necessary.

What CPR Level do I need?
The short answer is - probably CPR C. You should choose CPR BLS if you're in healthcare or you're a professional first responder.
CPR C will train and certify you on Adult, Child, Infant, and 2-Person CPR plus AED use.
CPR A will only train and certify you on Adult-only CPR & AED use.
What is the difference between Standard First Aid & Emergency First Aid?
We recommend Standard First Aid.
Standard First Aid is longer, more comprehensive, and is most often required in workplaces.
Emergency First Aid is shorter, trains you in less scenarios, and is required only in very specific work environments.
We recommend you choose Standard First Aid unless you simply want the fastest, most affordable course to meet bare minimum workplace requirements.
