| Unclear communication during emergencies | Confusion and delays in response | Establish clear communication protocols for emergencies. Ensure that all workers are aware of how to summon first aiders and emergency medical services. |
| Work site is far from medical assistance | Increased time to receive medical care, potential for serious health consequences | Provide enhanced first aid equipment and training for isolated work sites. Establish communication systems to contact emergency services. |
5\. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
All first aiders must use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when administering first aid to protect themselves from potential hazards.
- Gloves: Non-latex gloves to protect against exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
- Eye Protection: Safety glasses or a face shield to protect against splashes of blood or other bodily fluids.
- CPR Mask: A CPR mask to provide a barrier between the first aider and the injured worker during CPR.
Inspect all PPE for damage or defects before each use. Replace any damaged or defective PPE immediately.
6\. Equipment and Tools
All equipment and tools used in the administration of first aid must be regularly inspected and maintained in good working order.
- First Aid Kit: A CSA Standard Z1220-17 Type 1, 2, or 3 first aid kit, depending on the number of workers at the work site and the hazard level. The kit should be equipped in accordance with CSA Standard Z1220-17, First aid kits for the workplace. [4]
- Stretcher: A stretcher for transporting injured workers who are unable to walk.
- Splints: Splints for immobilizing injured limbs.
- Oxygen Unit: A portable oxygen therapy unit for providing supplemental oxygen to workers who are having difficulty breathing.
- Emergency Communication System: A means of communication, such as a cell phone or two-way radio, for contacting emergency services.

11\. Incident Reporting and Investigation
All workplace illnesses and injuries must be reported to the supervisor or employer as soon as possible. The employer must record the incident in a record kept for that purpose, including the worker's name, a description of the illness or injury, the first aid given, the name and qualifications of the person giving first aid, the date and time of the incident, where the incident occurred, and the work-related cause of the incident. [3]
Following a workplace illness or injury, an investigation must be conducted to determine the root cause of the incident and to implement corrective actions to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
