First Aid Kits and Supplies

Employers in British Columbia are responsible for ensuring the workplace has the required first aid equipment, supplies, facilities, and first aid attendants to treat workers if they are injured on the job.

To determine the first aid needs of your workplace, first you'll need to do a first aid assessment provided by WorkSafeBC. Then, you can review the findings and take the necessary steps to put effective first aid procedures in place.

OHS Regulation Schedule 3-A outlines the minimum levels of first aid required for your workplace, based on the results of your first aid risk assessment. Refer to Schedule 3-A to determine what type of first aid kit you need:

  • Personal first aid kit
  • Basic first aid kit (Formally Level 1)
  • Intermediate first aid kit (Formally Level 2)
  • Advanced first aid kit (Formally Level 3)

The OHS Guidelines list the recommended minimum contents for each level of kit. You can also find the information in this resource.
