The contents of our first-aid kits meet Canadian requirements according to CAN/CSA Z1220-17. Be sure to supply an adequate number of first-aid kits according to the regulations that apply to you.
Employers had until March 17, 2021 to bring the contents of their kits into line with the new standard. There is no need to purchase new kits. Employers can simply add the missing equipment. It is no longer mandatory to include the Guide pratique du secouriste en milieu de travail - Protocoles d'intervention in the kits. Contact us for more information on upgrading the contents of your kits.
