MAKING SAFETY DO-ABLE
Guess What?
After years in the ambulance, in 911 dispatch, and in the classroom,
WE were the ones who learned something...
Able Rescue was born out of years working in EMS responding to emergencies, in 911 dispatch walking people through emergencies, and in the classroom teaching first aid about emergencies.
​
Listening to people share their real experiences, fears and concerns we learned two things. Over and over again.
Workplaces — Many employers train staff in first aid, but maintaining supplies and ensuring AEDs are always ready often falls through the cracks. “I think our kit needs stuff but don't know what” and “I'm not sure who is formally in charge” were comments we heard all the time. Not that employers want it that way, it's just one more thing that needs to be organized.
The Public — Most people take first aid for work, yet statistics show when first aid is used it's usually NOT on a co-worker, it's on a family member or friend. This leaves people who don't have formal training unprepared for emergencies like heart attacks or strokes. But in reality even a little knowledge and preparation can make a big difference.
Able Rescue exists to fill these gaps:
-
People, who aren't required to have a first aid certificate, should be able to help someone in a life threatening situation.
​
-
Worksites, who are required to meet Occupational Health and Safety requirements, should have a simple way be compliant.
​
We are creating solutions. Our maintenance plans ensure workplaces meet requirements without stressing. Our training and events give everyday people — seniors, parents, students, neighbours — the confidence to act. Learn life saving skills in as little as one hour (and yes, of course, we also provide lots of traditional OHS first aid courses).
At work or anywhere else, we are here to help.

Working in nursing has taught me that being prepared ahead of time is the most important part of handling emergencies. People are people and the basics don't change no matter what setting you are in.

After working in long term care, caring for my own aging family and friends, and teaching first aid.... I get it.
We are all just real humans trying to do good stuff in sometimes crazy situations. Helping people NOT stress is my jam. Leave your being nervous at the door, you're going to do awesome!

Manage-able, track-able, order-able.... for YOU, means a lot of moving parts behind the screens for ME. I keep them all flow-able, click-able and work-able.....
