    Hi OHS Insider,

    According to the harmonized rules for all Provinces under Canadian Standards Association Standard (CSA Z1220-17) there is an extensive list of supplies required for both rooms and kits. Currently we are aiming to adhere to the ‘Type 2: Basic First Aid Kits’ which are required in low-risk work environments but the list of items seems vast for an office environment.

    If we have purchased the Uline Type 2 first aid kits for everyday injuries with also contain windlass tourniquet, splint, glucose tabs and eye shield, but it does not into the full list of the CSA items. Would we still be compliant or do we have to purchase extra items for our kits? Are there other kits recommendations? Please advise.

    Good question. Whether Uline or any other first aid kit, for Type 2 or any other type, complies is based on the particular requirements for first aid kits for your particular workplace. If you want, I can help you make that determination, provided that you tell me:

    1. Which jurisdiction you’re in
    2. How many workers are at your facility
    3. The kind of work performed there and
    4. Location, in terms of accessibility and proximity to a hospital or other emergency treatment
    5. What’s actually in the Uline kit

    Feel free to email me at glennd@bongarde.com if you want to discuss. I’ll wait to hear back from you.
