Effective March 31, 2023 - the OHS first aid kit requirements are changing in Alberta

We got you covered.

The first aid requirements for workplaces in Alberta are based on the number of employees on the worksite at one time, the workplace hazard rating, travel routes/time to the nearest medical facility, and specific workplace layout. For the most current regulations, refer to Part 11 of the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety Code. Here you can find the updated change.
