Industrial first aid camp attendants will be living and working in close proximity to crews and must maintain an air of “friendly professionalism.” They must also show the following character traits:

• Confidence;
• Responsibility;
• Practicality;
• Relatability;
• Safety conscience;
• Calmness in emergencies;
• Ability to direct workers in the event of a medical emergency;
• Strong and clear communication skills;

Due to the nature of the position, an industrial first aid camp attendant must:

• Posses and maintain a reasonable level of fitness;
• Be able to work long hours, work many consecutive shifts, both day and night shift;
• Have good observational skills;
• Have normal colour vision, as many safety systems are colour-coded.

• Possess a valid driver’s licence (class 5) and current (within three months) clean driver abstract

In addition to these industry-related safety certifications, candidates must be able to pass a pre-employment drug test as this is a safety-sensitive position.

The following values are at the heart of everything we do.

Having a team that genuinely wants to help others is what we are all about—it’s why we love the safety business. We want to surround ourselves with people who take pride in going the extra mile and demonstrate courtesy, gratitude and humility.

It’s about respect. On-time means you show up early and are ready to go before the promised start time. People notice when you’re on time, and they definitely notice when you’re late. Being on time is a key factor in building trust with our clients and co-workers. Let’s never violate that trust.

We live for great relationships, and in order to build those relationships, we consistently give more of ourselves than we ask of others. We inherently believe in putting our clients and colleagues first— it’s just the way we operate. We like people, we like having fun, and we love a good sense of humour, and it shows.
