Nesbitt gains

Instructor’s status

by Nancy Perkins

Diane Nesbitt, one of
the local Ambulance Vol-
unteer members, has re-
cently returned to Tum-
bler Ridge after spending
a week in intensive train-
ing at the Worker’s Com-
pensation Industrial First

said that Worker’s Com-
pensation has strict rules
regarding the pass level of
classes in order to ensure
that all instructors keep in
top form in their instruc-
tions.

Nesbitt was the only

person to attend this class
north of Prince George,
with this being the first
class WCB has put on in
one-and-a-half years. U-
sually, classes are held
twice a year.

The lack of courses is

one of the reasons quali-
fied industrial first aid
instructors are such a
scarcity in our region.

Nesbitt said she is look-
ing forward to her first
class, even though she has
several weeks of prepara-
tion ahead of her.

she will be classed as a
qualified Industrial Frist
Aid Instructor.

This will make her one
of a very select few in the
Peace River Region and
very much in demand.

In order to be qualified
to take this course, one
must hold an ‘A’ Ticket in
First Aid. Nesbitt had a
} ‘B’ Ticket and challenged
| her ‘A’ Ticket by taking
| an examination, which she
passed.
| There were also several

prerequisites. Some of her
past experience and cours-
es helped her to qualify,
including her instructor
background, St. John’s
Ambulance training, Red
. Cross and CPR Instruc-
tor’s training.
