First Aid

Notice: First Aid requirements revised. Refer to memo.

First aid stations, kits and training are mandated by the Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB). Under Policy 34, Health, Safety and Environment, "It is the supervisor's responsibility to ensure that prompt first aid and health care (medical) treatment is obtained, if necessary ".

First Aid Emergency Procedures poster should be located throughout campus, particularly in labs, studios, activity areas and workshop areas near campus phones and room exits. The poster gives you general instructions on how to render aid in various circumstances and what phone numbers to call for assistance. The poster also has small map showing the building specific location where emergency services personnel will normally respond.

First aid stations with first aid kits and trained first aiders are required in every department and/or building or field work locations. Additional kits are required for labs, shops, studios, satellite maintenance areas and vehicles. For assistance with determining first aid station locations contact Safety Office at ext. 33587.
