In the fast-paced restaurant and hospitality industry, safety hazards range from severe kitchen burns and knife cuts to guest incidents and slip-and-falls. Outfitting your commercial kitchen, hotel, or catering business with the right supplies isn't just about passing health inspections—it's about protecting your staff and patrons. Our specialized hospitality first aid kits are built to the national CSA Z1220-17 standard and feature food-safe essentials, ensuring 100% compliance with provincial occupational health and safety regulations.
Under the CSA Z1220-17 standard, front-of-house areas generally require Type 2 (Basic) Kits, while back-of-house kitchens often require supplemental burn care and highly visible, food-safe bandages to meet both OHS laws and local health inspector guidelines.
Not sure what your restaurant or hotel needs? Scroll down to our Restaurant & Hospitality Compliance FAQ for guidance on blue bandages, burn kits, and worker headcount requirements.
Requirement Matrix: Outfitting Your Business
| Workplace Area | 1 Worker (Food Truck/Solo) | 2 – 25 Workers | 26 – 50 Workers | 51 – 100 Workers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front of House & Hotels (Low Hazard) | Type 1: Personal Kit | Type 2: Basic (Small) | Type 2: Basic (Medium) | Type 2: Basic (Large) |
| Commercial Kitchens (Moderate/High Hazard) | Type 1: Personal Kit + Burn Relief | Type 2 or 3 (Small) + Burn Kit | Type 2 or 3 (Medium) + Burn Kit | Type 2 or 3 (Large) + Burn Kit |
| Food Safety / Sanitation (All Worker Counts) | Highly Recommended: Blue Detectable Bandages, Finger Cots, and Biohazard Bodily Fluid Clean-Up Spill Kits. | |||
*Note: Larger hotels and resorts with over 100 staff on shift may require multiple kits distributed throughout the property (e.g., housekeeping carts, maintenance rooms, pool areas).
Restaurant & Hospitality Compliance FAQ
Why do commercial kitchens need blue bandages?
Blue is the only color that does not naturally occur in food. In the event a bandage slips off a worker's hand while prepping ingredients, a blue detectable bandage is instantly visible to the eye. Additionally, many of our blue bandages have a metallic strip underneath the pad so they can be picked up by automated metal detectors in large food processing facilities.
Are burn kits legally required in restaurants?
While a standard CSA Z1220-17 kit contains basic treatments, most provincial health and safety boards strongly recommend or require supplemental Burn Kits where there is a high risk of thermal injury (stoves, fryers, ovens, boiling water). Specialized burn dressings, like Water-Jel, stop the burning process immediately and prevent infection.
What kind of first aid kit do I need for a food truck?
If you operate a food truck alone, a Type 1 (Personal) Kit is legally required. If you have 2 to 5 people working in the truck, you will need a Type 2 Basic (Small) Kit. Given the confined space and hot surfaces, keeping burn gel and blue bandages on hand is highly recommended.
Do we need Biohazard Spill Kits for our hotel or restaurant?
Yes. Dealing with bodily fluids (blood, vomit, etc.) from guests or staff is a common reality in hospitality. Standard first aid kits are not equipped for sanitary cleanup. A Biohazard Clean-Up Kit provides the necessary PPE, absorbent powders, and disinfectants to handle the spill safely and prevent the spread of pathogens.
Will these kits pass a local health and safety inspection?
Yes. Our kits are built to the national CSA Z1220-17 standard, which has been adopted by almost all provincial occupational health and safety (OHS) boards across Canada, including WSIB in Ontario and WorkSafeBC. This ensures you meet your legal employer obligations.
Can we use these kits for injured guests?
While workplace first aid kits are legally mandated for your employees, the supplies can absolutely be used to assist an injured guest or patron in an emergency. However, ensure you document the incident and restock the used supplies immediately to remain compliant for your staff.
Do you sell finger cots?
Yes! Finger cots are essential in food service. If an employee cuts their finger, applying a blue detectable bandage and covering it with a sanitary finger cot ensures the wound stays dry and food remains uncontaminated.
Can I buy refills instead of a whole new kit?
Absolutely. Kitchen environments go through supplies like burn cream and bandages quickly. We sell individual items and complete CSA refill packs so you can restock your existing cabinets without having to buy the metal or plastic case again.
