Rules for the implementation of the kits in the establishments.

Depending on the distribution of workers in a company, it is possible to select several types of kits to protect more than 25 workers. The installation of several kits of this model may be suitable for multiples of 25 employees. For example, it is possible to install two kits for an area with 50 workers, thus allowing faster access. The principle of access in less than 30 seconds of walking time remains to be considered. The same applies to multi-storey buildings where the number of kits must protect workers on one floor.

Note on the conformity of this kit:

In Quebec, the minimum content of a first aid kit has recently been modified. The new contents are now based on the Canadian regulation CAN/CSA Z1220-17. You will be able to consult on the CNESST website the information concerning the material required for the basic kit as well as the information concerning the risks associated with your sector of activity.

Key features of the Can/CSA Z1220-17 first aid kit

This first aid kit for up to 25 workers stands out for its comprehensive contents and casing options. The molded plastic case is economical and suitable for low-traffic areas, while the metal case offers superior durability, a sealed edge and wall-mount capability. Each kit includes sterile compresses, pressure dressings, triangular bandages, nitrile gloves, a rescue blanket, a versatile splint and an arterial tourniquet. It also features a CPR barrier device and biohazard waste bags.

How to install the Can/CSA Z1220-17 first aid kit

To meet compliance standards, the first aid kit must be accessible within 30 seconds of walking distance. It can be wall-mounted using the built-in tabs, especially in high-density work zones or multi-level buildings. One kit per floor or per group of 25 employees is recommended to ensure optimal coverage and quick emergency response.

Maintaining your high-risk first aid kit

Regular maintenance of the Can/CSA Z1220-17 first aid kit is crucial for its effectiveness. Check expiry dates, packaging integrity and ensure all required items are present. The metal case simplifies restocking, while the plastic version may need more frequent replacement due to latch wear.

Usage tips for an effective first aid kit

To maximize the effectiveness of your Can/CSA Z1220-17 first aid kit, train employees on its contents and proper use. Assign trained first responders and make sure all staff know the kit’s location. In emergencies, quick access to the right tools can make a critical difference. Adjust the number of kits based on workforce size and specific workplace hazards.
