  • Choking: When Dinner Fights Back

    We’ve all seen it—someone enjoying their meal one second and frantically clutching their throat the next. Conscious adult choking is no joke, but knowing how to react can turn you into a real-life hero (or at least the most useful person at dinner). Spotting the Trouble If someone is choking, they might clutch their throat, struggle to breathe, or turn an alarming shade of purple. If they can still cough, let them try to work it out. But if it’s total silence, it’s go-time. How to Help (Without Making It Awkward) Step 1: Back Blows – Stand behind them, give five strong smacks between the shoulder blades. Think “firm but not a wrestling move.” Step 2: Abdominal Thrusts (Heimlich Maneuver) – Wrap your arms around their waist, make a fist above their belly button, and give five quick, upward thrusts like you’re trying to pop the world’s tightest jar lid. Step 3: Repeat as Needed – Until the object is out or help arrives. If they pass out, that’s a whole other problem—time for CPR. New at AHASTI! We’re upping our game with a new training device in our first aid courses, making choking scenarios more realistic, practical, and—dare we say—fun. It’s hands-on learning like never before! Want to be ready for anything? Book your course today at AHASTI ! Nitro joined in on Natasha and Melissa having fun testing the new obstructed airway equipment. Nitro’s Safety Tip! AHASTI’s very own mascot, Nitro, wants you to remember: chew your food, stay calm, and always have a trained friend nearby. If Nitro had opposable thumbs, he’d totally learn these maneuvers, too—until then, he’s cheering you on!

Today, I'm wagging my tail with excitement to share some pawsome tips on keeping your heart in tip-top shape. Let's embark on this journey together and make heart health a walk in the park! 1. Fetch a Balanced Diet Just like I need a balanced diet to keep my fur shiny and energy levels high, your heart thrives on nutritious foods. Incorporate plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals. These choices can help lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. 2. Stay Active – Let's Play! I love a good game of fetch, and your heart loves exercise, too! Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. Activities like brisk walking, cycling, or even dancing can strengthen your heart and improve overall health. 3. Maintain a Healthy Weight Keeping a healthy weight isn't just about looking good; it's crucial for heart health. Carrying extra pounds increases the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise and mindful eating can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. 4. Kick the Smoking Habit Sniffing around, I've learned that smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you smoke, consider seeking support to quit. Your heart (and your furry friends) will thank you! 5. Manage Stress – Unwind and Relax Life can be ruff, but managing stress is essential for heart health. Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or even spending time with pets can help reduce stress levels. Remember, a calm mind leads to a happy heart. 6. Learn Life-Saving Skills – February Heart Month Special! February is all about heart health, and what better way to celebrate than by learning Adult CPR?

  • Don’t Be Scammed: Why Online-Only CPR Courses Aren’t Accepted in Canadian Workplaces.

    First aid and CPR training are crucial for workplace safety in Canada, as they equip employees to manage emergencies effectively. However, many are surprised to find that Canadian workplaces do not recognize courses completed entirely online. This is because such certifications do not meet the strict standards set by provincial legislation and lack critical in-person assessments. Although these courses might appear more economical and time-efficient due to their lower cost, remember the saying, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." Many online companies inaccurately claim their courses are approved for Canadian workplaces, but they fail to comply with standards without an in-class component. Here, we discuss why these requirements are so necessary. "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." 1. Provincial Legislation and Workplace Safety Standards Each province and territory in Canada has distinct workplace first-aid training regulations. These rules guarantee that employees obtain comprehensive, practical training to manage real-life emergencies effectively. While online-only courses offer convenience, they fail to satisfy these legislative requirements because they lack in-person, practical elements. However, provincial legislation has sanctioned blended courses, which integrate online theory with classroom practice, as they fulfill the required standards. Employers must comply with these standards to adhere to workplace safety regulations. 2. Hands-On Skill Evaluation by Certified Instructors First aid and CPR involve hands-on skills that cannot be fully learned or evaluated through a computer screen. Techniques like chest compressions, using an AED, or adequately applying a bandage require practical demonstration and correction from a certified instructor. Without this in-person evaluation, there is no guarantee that participants have the competency to perform these life-saving skills effectively. 3. Accreditation by Approved Canadian Providers First aid and CPR training in Canada must be provided by organizations approved by provincial regulators, such as the Canadian Red Cross or other recognized entities. These organizations are mandated to include in-person components in their training to ensure that participants meet the required standards. Online-only courses, especially those offered by non-accredited providers, cannot guarantee this level of oversight or quality. 4. Risk of Insufficient Preparation Emergencies are unpredictable, and responding to them requires more than theoretical knowledge. Hands-on practice builds confidence and muscle memory, enabling individuals to act quickly and effectively under pressure. Online-only courses fail to prepare participants for the realities of an emergency, putting both the responder and the ill or injured person at greater risk. 5. Cheaper Courses Do Not Equal Compliance or Quality While lower-cost courses may seem like an attractive option, they often cut corners on critical components such as in-person evaluations and accreditation by approved providers. These shortcuts compromise the quality of the training and can result in non-compliance with provincial regulations. Investing in a comprehensive program ensures that participants receive the necessary skills and certifications, ultimately saving costs associated with potential liabilities or re-training. 6. Employer Liability and Compliance Employers are legally obligated to provide a safe workplace and ensure their staff receive proper training. Accepting online-only certifications can expose employers to significant liability if the responder’s training is deemed insufficient in an emergency. By requiring in-person components, employers can be confident that their staff are adequately prepared and that their organization complies with provincial regulations. Conclusion While online first-aid and CPR courses may seem appealing due to their convenience, they do not meet the stringent requirements necessary for workplace certification in Canada. In-person training with hands-on evaluations conducted by certified instructors is essential for ensuring that participants have the skills, confidence, and accreditation to respond effectively in emergencies. For Canadian workplaces, this level of training is not just a best practice—it’s a legal requirement. If you're looking for high-quality, provincially approved first aid and CPR training, AHASTI offers comprehensive courses that include both online and in-person components. Contact us today to learn more about our offerings and ensure your workplace is fully compliant with Canadian regulations. We’d love to hear your thoughts!

  • Why First Aid Certification is Essential for Your Workplace – And Why December is the Perfect Time to Start

    In any workplace, the safety and well-being of employees should always be a top priority. Emergencies can happen without warning, and being prepared can mean the difference between a minor incident and a life-altering event. First aid certification ensures that your team is ready to respond effectively, protecting both employees and your business. Beyond being a vital safety measure, first aid training also aligns with legal requirements. In Alberta, Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws mandate that workplaces must assess their needs and ensure adequate first aid coverage. They also provide clear guidelines on how workplaces should address emergencies based on the number of employees and the nature of the work​. Alberta.ca While the importance of first aid training is clear year-round, December is an ideal time to focus on equipping your workplace with this essential skill. As the year winds down, many businesses experience a natural slowdown, making scheduling individual or group training sessions easier without disrupting operations. Moreover, planning first aid certification now allows your team to enter the new year fully prepared, with safety as a key part of your organizational goals. Preparedness Saves Lives and Boosts Morale First aid certification equips employees to handle medical emergencies swiftly and effectively. Whether it’s providing CPR during a cardiac arrest or administering care for a workplace injury, these skills can save lives and reduce the severity of injuries. This immediate response not only protects the individual in need but also creates a culture of care and preparedness. Employees feel safer knowing their workplace prioritizes their well-being. A well-trained team also contributes to a proactive safety culture. Employees become more mindful of potential hazards and feel empowered to take action when something seems unsafe. December offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the past year's safety practices, identify areas for improvement, and ensure your team is set up for success in the new year. Financial and Legal Benefits Workplace injuries can result in significant costs—from lost productivity to legal and compensation expenses. By investing in first aid training, employers reduce these risks and may even see financial incentives. Programs like Alberta’s Certificate of Recognition (COR) reward organizations with strong safety programs through discounts on workers’ compensation premiums . Starting or renewing training in December ensures compliance and can give your business a strong footing heading into January. Why Pre-Scheduling First Aid is Essential Now The new year often brings a surge of activity, making it harder to find time for additional training. Pre-scheduling your team’s first aid certification ensures you’re ahead of the curve. It also gives employees confidence that safety is a priority for your business moving forward. If December is too busy, locking in dates for January allows for seamless planning and helps avoid the rush of the post-holiday period. Start Planning Your Training Today At AHASTI, we make it easy for you to schedule first aid and CPR training tailored to your workplace needs. Whether you're planning a session for December or pre-scheduling for the new year, our flexible options ensure that your team is prepared for anything. Contact us today at www.ahasti.ca to book your training and set your team up for a safer, more prepared 2025.

  • Winter Safety Tips: First Aid Essentials for Cold Weather Emergencies

    Winter brings beautiful snowfalls and crisp air, but it also comes with unique risks. As temperatures drop, the likelihood of cold-weather emergencies rises. Here’s a guide to staying safe and prepared this winter, with essential first aid tips for common seasonal hazards. Frostbite and Hypothermia: Recognizing and Reacting Frostbite happens when the skin and the tissues beneath it freeze, typically impacting extremities such as fingers, toes, ears, and noses. Signs : Pale, cold, or numb skin that may feel hard. Severe cases can lead to blackened tissue. First Aid : Move the person to a warm area. Warm the affected area gently using body heat or warm (not hot) water. Avoid rubbing or applying direct heat, as this can cause more damage. Hypothermia , a life-threatening condition, occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce. Signs : Shivering, slurred speech, confusion, drowsiness, or loss of consciousness. First Aid : Get the person to a warm place and remove wet clothing. Wrap them in blankets and provide warm (not hot) beverages if they are alert. Seek medical attention immediately. Slips, Trips, and Falls: Common Cold Weather Accidents Ice and snow make for slippery conditions, increasing the risk of falls. Injury Management : For minor bruises or strains, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. For suspected fractures or sprains, immobilize the injured area and seek medical care. Always check for head injuries if someone falls hard, especially on ice. Winter Vehicle Preparedness: Your Mobile First Aid Kit A car emergency kit is a must-have in winter. Here’s what to include: Basic first aid supplies: bandages, antiseptic wipes, and gloves. Thermal blankets or space blankets for warmth. Hand warmers and extra socks. A flashlight with extra batteries. High-energy snacks and water. Taking a first aid course ensures you’ll know how to use these supplies when it matters most! They also make great holiday gifts. Snow Sports Safety: On-the-Go First Aid Winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, and sledding are exhilarating but come with risks. Common Injuries : Sprains, fractures, and cuts. First Aid Tips : Immobilize injured limbs and keep the person as comfortable as possible. Use a clean cloth to stop bleeding from cuts and apply pressure until help arrives. Always wear proper protective gear to prevent injuries. Carbon Monoxide Awareness: A Silent Winter Danger Cold weather often means using heaters and fireplaces, increasing the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Signs : Headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and fatigue. First Aid : Move the person to fresh air immediately. Call emergency services and avoid re-entering the area until it’s safe. Stay Prepared This Winter with AHASTI At AHASTI, we believe preparation is the best prevention whether braving icy sidewalks, hitting the slopes, or simply keeping your home cozy, having first aid knowledge can make all the difference. Join one of our first aid and CPR courses to prepare for any winter emergency. Classes are available in Calgary, Red Deer, or through our Mobile Training Unit. Plus, Nitro, our lovable mascot, might pop in to say hello! Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the season! Explore our courses and sign up today at www.ahasti.ca . Use discount "fall24" and SAVE!
