Newfoundland and Labrador Regulation First Aid Kits
Overview of NL’s Requirements
- Similar to other Atlantic provinces, the regulations list minimum first aid kit contents and training obligations, based on workforce size and risk.
- Employers must have easy access to kits, and signage indicating kit location.
How CSA Kits Comply
- CSA Z1220 kit contents exceed the NL minimum lists for typical workplaces, covering standard items like gauze, antiseptic wipes, bandages, etc.
- Ensuring correct quantities for your workforce size is key.
Differences to Note
- Newfoundland & Labrador does not explicitly reference CSA Z1220, but welcomes any kit that meets or surpasses the mandated contents.
- High-risk industries (like fishing or offshore work) may have additional or specialized requirements.
