Emergency Services in Canada

Canada’s emergency service workers are vital to our country’s disaster response. They include jobs like:

  •  firefighters
  • first responders
  • paramedics, and 
  • emergency medical technicians. 

Due to the sudden, intense and unpredictable nature of their work, emergency service workers face a number of potential job hazards including: 

  • lifting patients and heavy equipment
  • treating infectious illnesses and contacting bodily fluids
  • heat and cold stress
  • handling hazardous gases and chemicals, and 
  • participating in transporting patients in ground and air vehicles.

Ensuring that emergency equipment is compliant and ready to perform is time-consuming and often laborious, but it’s critical to your team and community's safety.

Our team of manufacturer-trained professionals can take some of this burden off your shoulders. By offering in-house or on-site preventative maintenance services, we’ll work with you to make sure compliance and downtime are never an issue.

Levitt-Safety provides a number of safety products, services and training, all designed to meet the unique needs of emergency service workers.
