When an emergency happens, every second counts. Whether you are at a job site in Ottawa, a warehouse in Hamilton, or a retail shop in Burlington, being prepared with life-saving skills is a legal and moral necessity. If you’ve been searching for "first aid training near me," Holmes Safety Training provides WSIB-approved courses across Ontario to keep you compliant and ready to act.

​

Why Local First Aid Training is Critical

In Ontario, Regulation 1101 mandates that all employers provide a specific level of first aid training based on the number of workers per shift. Beyond just "checking a box," our local training sessions ensure you understand the specific emergency resources available in your community.

​

We provide training in these local hubs:

• Ottawa: (Including Downtown, South, West, and Orleans).

• Kingston: Supporting healthcare and student populations.

• Peterborough: Weekend and weekday sessions available at Trent University.

• Brockville: Local courses for Leeds & Grenville trades.

• Cornwall: Essential for industrial and manufacturing teams.
