The HEO second level of certification recognizes a minimum credential of Standard or Advanced First Aid with CPR Level C (*AED training is strongly recommended).
Also, individuals that have certain types of medical or para-medical training can be issued Level 2 status. In all circumstances, to obtain Level 2 status the participant must possess Hockey Canada Safety Program certification which is valid at the time at which the Level 2 status is granted.
Please send a copy of your Standard or Advanced First Aid Certificate or proof of qualified employment to Jeff Robert at jrobert@hockeyeasternontario.ca
Certification at Level 2 is achieved by one of the following methods:
- Recognition of a Standard First aid or Advanced First Aid card from an Ontario WSIB recognized FADO (First Aid Delivery Organization) or when a member association hosts a Standard or Advanced First Aid course. The FADO’s recognized by HEO for the purpose of providing First Aid, CPR and AED training are listed with the Ontario WSIB.
- Upon successfully completing the approved Hockey Canada Safety Program any individual who has the following professional qualifications, certified to work in Canada and is practicing, can be granted Level 2 status: - Registered Nurse - Occupational Health Nurses - Chiropractors - Physicians - Basic Trauma Life Support (B.T.L.S.) - EMCA certified - CATA/NATA - Military Medics (valid for 2 years from end of service data) (Qualifications must be licensed in Canada) - Physiotherapist - Dentist - Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) - Podiatrist
Requalification:
Those who have Level 2 status may continue to renew by ensuring they keep their qualifications updated with HEO by providing proof of requalification of their First Aid before the expiry date of the current season. HEO may at their discretion, extend the period of requalification within a reasonable timeframe and under normal circumstances not to exceed October 31/YR. Regardless of this extension, the universal expiry date remains August 31/YR.
NOTE: If lapsed past the requalification timeframe, a participant will be considered NEW and must complete the Hockey Canada Safety Program.
