From municipal city halls and community centers to public transit and regional public works, government facilities require safety solutions that protect both public servants and the citizens they serve. Because public sector operations span multiple environments, outfitting your departments requires versatile, reliable, and strictly regulated supplies. Our public sector first aid kits are built to the national CSA Z1220-17 standard, ensuring your municipality or federal department remains 100% compliant with occupational health and safety regulations.
Public sector environments are diverse. A municipal office operates as a Low-Hazard space requiring standard Type 2 (Basic) Kits, while municipal public works, sanitation, and transit maintenance yards are High-Hazard zones that mandate Type 3 (Intermediate) Kits. Furthermore, buildings open to the general public often necessitate AEDs and specialized biohazard response kits.
Not sure how to outfit your department? Scroll down to our Public Sector Compliance FAQ for guidance on facility requirements, vehicle kits, and procurement processes.
Requirement Matrix: Outfitting Public Departments
| Department / Environment | 1 Worker (Solo/Vehicle) | 2 – 25 Workers | 26 – 50 Workers | 51 – 100 Workers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City Halls & Admin Offices (Low Hazard) | Type 1: Personal Kit | Type 2: Basic (Small) | Type 2: Basic (Medium) | Type 2: Basic (Large) |
| Public Works & Maintenance (High Hazard) | Type 1: Personal + Vehicle Kit | Type 3: Intermediate (Small) | Type 3: Intermediate (Medium) | Type 3: Intermediate (Large) |
| Community Centers & Transit Hubs | Highly Recommended: AEDs (Defibrillators), Biohazard Bodily Fluid Clean-Up Spill Kits, and Wall-Mounted Metal Cabinets. | |||
*For large government buildings with over 100 employees per shift, kits must be proportionally distributed across different floors or wings to ensure rapid accessibility during an emergency.
Public Sector Compliance FAQ
Why are government facilities adopting the CSA Z1220-17 standard?
The CSA Z1220-17 is a national standard that harmonizes first aid requirements across Canada. For federal departments or municipalities operating near provincial borders, adopting this standard ensures a uniform, legally compliant safety protocol across all locations, simplifying procurement and health and safety audits.
What kind of first aid kits do municipal fleet vehicles need?
Bylaw officers, public works inspectors, and transit operators who work alone in fleet vehicles legally require a Type 1 (Personal) Kit. For trucks carrying a crew (e.g., sanitation or road maintenance), a small Type 2 or Type 3 kit is required depending on the hazard level of the work they are performing.
Are AEDs (Defibrillators) required in public buildings?
While occupational health and safety laws primarily focus on employee safety, many municipal and provincial guidelines now mandate or heavily encourage AEDs in high-traffic public buildings like community centers, arenas, libraries, and city halls. Having an AED significantly increases the survival rate of sudden cardiac arrest.
Do we need Biohazard Spill Kits for public transit and community centers?
Yes. Public spaces see a high volume of foot traffic, increasing the likelihood of incidents involving bodily fluids (blood, vomit, urine). A Biohazard Clean-Up Kit provides your custodial or transit staff with the necessary PPE, absorbent powders, and disinfectants to safely sanitize the area and prevent pathogen exposure.
Do you accept Purchase Orders (POs) from municipalities and government agencies?
Yes, First Aid Direct regularly works with municipal, provincial, and federal government bodies. We can accommodate standard procurement processes, including purchase orders and net terms for approved public sector accounts. Please contact our team to set up an account.
Can we purchase refills to meet our budget constraints?
Absolutely. We understand public sector budgets can be tight. Instead of replacing the entire metal or plastic cabinet, you can purchase CSA-compliant refill packs or individual items to cost-effectively maintain your existing kits.
Should we choose plastic or metal cabinets for public facilities?
For administrative offices, plastic cases are perfectly suitable. However, for public-facing hallways, transit hubs, and maintenance yards, we strongly recommend wall-mounted metal cabinets. They are far more durable, resistant to tampering, and visually prominent during an emergency.
