The instructor repeatedly emphasized how the course related to my field of work. This was much appreciated!

What basic equipment do I need to be able to perform a safe and effective surface ice rescue?

February 1, 2012

This is one of the questions our instructors get all the time from our students.  As such we thought we might write something up to be used as a reference and help point you in the right direction.

Relevant excerpts from provincial OSH legislation

Across Canada, provinces have legislation in place that puts the onus on employers to identify potential hazards in the workplace and then ensure their employees have the equipment, training and procedures in place in order to conduct their work safely. Legislation does not vary much from province-to-province and we have excerpted some particularly relevant sections from BC’s Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act.

our approach

We believe training should be tailored to the specific needs of each client. While we teach all the skills and knowledge necessary for certification, we approach a course for emergency personnel in an entirely different manner than one for resource managers or outdoor guides.
