Provincial Standards

Each province has its own rules and regulations as to what a kit should contain and the number of kits that you must have in the workplace. However, it is the standard expectation that all businesses across Canada be equipped with appropriate first aid kits. 

In addition, the quantities and products required for the workplace is different from what may be typically found in drugstores or department stores and are designed for personal use.
