First Aid Rooms

In any business or industry, injury or illness can strike a worker and require instant medical care in first aid rooms. However it’s safe to say that mining, construction, agricultural, manufacturing and other industrial services carry a higher risk factor than most. Despite rigorous occupational health and safety regulations, and the best efforts to ensure a safe workplace, accidents can and do happen, and first aid rooms are an essential requirement. And on many worksites it is actually required by law.

Under the Occupational Health and Safety Act a first aid room must be provided and maintained at any construction site at which more than 100 persons work or at any other workplace at which more than 200 persons work. Other workplaces not covered by this provision of the regulation may still have circumstances that require a first aid room.
