At Langara College, first aid is provided by Campus Security, Langara Health Services, and several Langara employees trained in Occupational First Aid (OFA). In a medical emergency, OFA attendants are able to quickly respond with life-saving equipment, experience, and expertise.

In addition, OFA attendants are able to communicate with 911 operators to provide medical updates, specific directions and any logistical support necessary to ensure that the emergency response is as fast as possible.

In case of a life-threatening situation:

  • Dial 911 (9-911 from a campus phone)
  • Keep calm and do not leave the patient unattended
  • Ensure the accident scene is safe – minimize further danger to injured person or self. Do not move injured person unless there is a high risk of further injury
  • Inform the Campus Security of your 911 call immediately
