Under certain conditions, employers can recognize the following licences issued by the Emergency Medical Assistants Licensing Board (EMALB) as alternative qualifications for occupational first aid attendants:

• First Responder (EMA FR) — intermediate first aid certificate plus transportation endorsement
• Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) — advanced first aid certificate
• Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) — advanced first aid certificate
• Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP) — advanced first aid certificate

EMA licence holders are subject to operational limitations when acting as designated workplace first aid attendants, and employers must ensure licence holders understand their responsibilities as first aid attendants.
