First Aid Kits - Alberta CSA Regulation

As of March 31, 2023, Alberta first aid kits must meet CSA Standard Z1220-17. Alberta Type P, No.2, and No.3 first aid kits require additional items to be added to the kit in order to meet the new standard.

CSA Workplace First Aid Kits are classified as follows:

Type 1: Personal First Aid Kit

An organization shall provide a Type 1: Personal First Aid Kit to all workers who work in isolation or those who do not otherwise have access to a workplace first aid kit.

Type 2: Basic First Aid Kit

A Type 2: Basic First Aid Kit is suitable for most workplaces with a low-risk work environment. The Basic First Aid Kit has three sizes (small, medium, and large) which is dependent on the maximum number of workers per workplace per shift.

Type 3: Intermediate First Aid Kit

A Type 3: Intermediate First Aid Kit is suitable for workplaces with higher risk level work environments. A Type 3 kit contains all of the items in a Type 2 kit plus additional items to meet the needs of workplaces with an increased risk of first aid events in a higher risk environment. Intermediate First Aid Kits also have three sizes (small, medium, and large) which are dependent on the maximum number of workers per workplace per shift.
