In Canada, workers in marine environments who should have Marine Basic First Aid (MBFA) training include:

MBFA courses are designed to provide the skills and knowledge needed to respond to medical emergencies in marine environments. They meet the requirements of Transport Canada, as outlined in Transport Publication (TP) 13008.
MBFA courses are open to anyone over the age of 13 who is expected to provide first aid in a marine environment. They do not require any prerequisites or a Candidate Document Number (CDN).
