Safe+Sound: A BIS Authorized Partner
Safe+Sound First Aid Training Ltd. was founded in 1999 by Gill McCulloch in Coquitlam, BC, as a solo operation focused on Red Cross first aid and CPR training. As demand grew, her husband, an electronics engineer, joined the team, transforming Safe+Sound into a family-run business. Together, they have built a reputable safety training organization well-regarded locally for its dedication to safety education and community support.
Safe + Sound helps organizations manage their training needs to keep workplaces safer and comply with industry regulations. They provide public, in-person Red Cross first aid & CPR/AED classes and private group training. They also offer mental health first aid and virtual babysitting courses.
Though their primary clients are local businesses, community groups, and individuals seeking first aid and CPR certification, the company also provides a wide variety of self-directed safety and soft skills online training courses.
