What’s At Stake

 

The first step in complying with your jurisdiction’s OHS rules is to figure out where those rules are. While often contained within the general OHS regulations, first aid requirements may also be in a standalone regulation (a la Newfoundland and Nova Scotia) or stashed in a non-OHS law as in Ontario (workers’ comp law) and Qu‚bec (part OHS, part Industrial Accidents law). By pointing out the hiding place in each part of Canada, the following chart may be able to save you time and frustration.
