What is a First Aid Competition?
Teams perform in a timed situation to provide First Aid treatment to casualties in a mock scenario. The scenarios are created using real props and volunteer casualties with sim-ulated injuries.

Teams need to:
   • clear the area of any
     hazards
   • determine the number of
     casualties and their injuries
   • treat their injuries
   • prepare the casualties for
      transport by EMS

A judge,assigned to each casualty, records the First Aider’s response and treatment. Because scenarios remain unknown to the First Aiders until their turn to compete, team-work, critical thinking, and First Aid skills are all tested.

The team with the highest score wins their division.

Teams may consist of up to 4 people with valid First Aid certification and will enter in the
appropriate division based on level of training.

Who can enter?
All companies and organizations with First Aiders or Emergency Responders are encouraged to enter a team.

Teams from office-based businesses, industry, retail, community organizations, First Aid volunteers and instructors, mine rescue, and Emergency Medical Responders compete with other teams based on their skill level.
