As of November 1, 2024, amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation relating to occupational first aid are in effect.

The amendments include changes to the minimum requirements for first aid supplies, equipment, facilities, and first aid attendants.

The changes align B.C.’s requirements for first aid kits and occupational first aid training programs with standards set by the Canadian Standards Association.

See our First aid requirements page for more information as well as resources to help employers implement these changes.
