Alberta OHS & CSA Compliant First Aid Kits
As of March 31, 2023, Alberta legally transitioned to the national CSA Z1220-17 standard for workplace first aid kits. Whether you are a small office in Calgary or a high-hazard industrial site in Fort McMurray, your old 'Alberta No. 1, 2, or 3' kits likely no longer meet OHS requirements. Our kits are pre-configured to ensure 100% compliance with current Alberta Occupational Health and Safety regulations.

In Alberta, workplace safety is governed by the OHS Code, Part 11. As of March 31, 2023, the province transitioned to the CSA Z1220-17 standard. This update replaced the old provincial kit lists with a national classification system. Our kits are fully pre-configured to meet these Type 1, 2, and 3 legal requirements for every workplace size.

Alberta Compliance FAQ
Are the old Alberta No. 1, 2, or 3 kits still compliant?
No. As of March 31, 2023, Alberta legally transitioned to the national CSA Z1220-17 standard. Older provincial kits likely lack the specific items and mandatory quantities required by the current Type 1, 2, and 3 classifications.
What exactly changed in the March 2023 Alberta update?
Alberta moved from a province-specific kit list to the national CSA Z1220-17 standard. This changed kit classifications and introduced stricter requirements for items like tourniquets and pressure bandages in high-hazard environments.
Are these kits WSIB compliant as well?
While WSIB is Ontario-specific, these kits meet the national CSA Z1220-17 standard, which is the benchmark for compliance in both Alberta and Ontario.
What is the difference between a 'Basic' (Type 2) and 'Intermediate' (Type 3) kit?
Type 2 (Basic) kits are for low-to-medium risk environments like offices. Type 3 (Intermediate) kits include additional specialized supplies for higher-risk environments. In Alberta, high-hazard sites require a Type 3 kit once there are 2 or more workers present.
How do I choose the right kit size (Small, Medium, or Large)?
Size is based on workers per shift: Small (2-25), Medium (26-50), and Large (51-100). Workplaces with 100+ workers must distribute kits proportionally.
What is a 'Close,' 'Distant,' or 'Isolated' work site in Alberta?
These are based on travel time to a hospital: Close (<20 min), Distant (20-40 min), and Isolated (>40 min). Distant and Isolated sites require extra equipment like stretchers and blankets.
When does an Alberta employer need to provide a dedicated First Aid Room?
Generally required for Low Hazard sites with 200+ workers, or High Hazard sites with 10+ workers at a Distant or Isolated location.
Can I reorder individual supplies or refill my existing kit?
Yes. We offer kit refills and individual replacement items to ensure your kits remain compliant and within their expiry dates.
How fast is shipping to Calgary, Edmonton, and across Alberta?
Orders to major Alberta hubs like Calgary and Edmonton typically arrive within 2-5 business days via tracked shipping.
Is free shipping available for Alberta orders?
Yes, we offer free shipping on orders over $250 to most urban areas in Alberta.
