# What's in your kit? (cont.) CSA SP GROUP SELECT YOUR FIRST AID KIT # Did you know that not all first aid kits are equal? The contents and quantities differ from business to business. Deciding what your first aid kit must have in it will be based on the workplace hazards, the risk of employee exposure to those hazards, the time it will take to access emergency health system resources, as well as the number of employees working each shift. CSA Z1220, First aid kits for the workplace presents three different types of first aid kits. You may use this guide as a reference point to ensure your first aid kit complies with the Standard and local workplace regulations*. TYPE 1: Personal First Aid Kit TYPE 2: Basic First Aid Kit TYPE 3: Intermediate First Aid Kit Examples of Workplace First Aid Kit Containers For those working in isolation or who do not have access to a workplace first aid kit. See Clause 5.3 of CSA Z1220 for specific requirements. For use in most workplaces with a low-risk work environment. See Clause 5.4 of CSA Z1220 for specific requirements. For use in workplaces with higher risk level work environments. See Clause 5.5 of CSA Z1220 for specific requirements. Workplace first aid kit containers may vary depending on the employer's first aid risk assessment. See Clause 7 of CSA Z1220 for specific requirements. * Workplace first aid legislation differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in Canada. It is the user's responsibility to determine how applicable legislative requirements relate to this Standard. - Page 2 - © 2022 Canadian Standards Association | All Rights Reserved.
