Are there workplace requirements for first aid?
Workplaces that are covered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 are required by regulation to have adequate first aid equipment, facilities, and trained people.

Additional first aid requirements for particular work situations are specified in the Ministry’s Regulations for Construction Projects [Sections 261 to 263, 355, 361 and 362] and for Mines and Mining Plants [Section 281.1 and the Schedule].
