Assessment of First Aid Needs: Employers must assess the nature of hazards, number of employees, and proximity to medical facilities to determine the appropriate level of first aid coverage.

02.

Certified Training: First aid attendants must complete courses from WorkSafe BC-approved training providers, like KVES.

03.

Ongoing Compliance: Regular refresher courses are recommended to maintain certification and ensure skills remain current.
