- Can Benadryl® be used instead of epinephrine to treat anaphylaxis? 💊

These splints are in your Alberta OH&A first aid kits....so this is what you get to use in our classes!
Why not use what is a requirement at work?

And yes.....we do this in class. Did you know you have tourniquets in your workplace OH&S first aid kits in Alberta?

Happy Labour Day to you all.
I had a little class today, at our new training center, and am now on my way home to enjoy all I have because of workers standing together. Cheers all and stay safe
