Nova Scotia OH&S First Aid Room Equipment & Supplies

Under the Nova Scotia Occupational Health and Safety First Aid Regulations, employers must provide a dedicated First Aid Room if their workplace is not an office and has 200 or more regularly employed workers during any shift. This facility requires specific physical furnishings, such as a bed covered with a plastic sheet, a chair with armrests, and a sink with running water. The room must also be equipped with specialized medical items like wash and kidney basins, assorted splints, a portable Medium CSA Z1220-17 kit, and the complete bulk supplies of a Large CSA kit. Our First Aid Room equipment and supplies are pre-configured to ensure 100% compliance with current Nova Scotia OH&S regulations.

Not sure if your site requires a dedicated First Aid Room or what specific items you need? Scroll down to our Nova Scotia First Aid Room FAQ at the bottom of this page to find guidance on workforce thresholds, required furnishings, and staffing requirements.

Nova Scotia First Aid Room Compliance FAQ

Which businesses are required to have a First Aid Room in Nova Scotia?

Under the Nova Scotia Occupational Health and Safety First Aid Regulations, an employer must provide a dedicated First Aid Room if the workplace has 200 or more regularly employed employees during any shift and is not an office. (Exemptions apply for hospitals, emergency care facilities, and long-term care facilities).

What are the physical facility and furnishing requirements for a Nova Scotia First Aid Room?

The room must be equipped with specific furnishings including a sink with running water, a bed covered with a plastic sheet, pillows and blankets, a chair with armrests suitable for treating injured employees, a refuse pail with a cover, and a cabinet for storing dressings and instruments.

What supplies and equipment are required in a Nova Scotia First Aid Room?

In addition to standard physical furnishings, the room must contain wash and kidney basins, assorted splints, a portable Medium CSA Z1220-17 Type 2 first aid kit, a flashlight for responding to accidents outside the room, and the bulk medical supplies of a Large CSA first aid kit (such as sterile dressings, bandages, and antiseptic).

Who must be in charge of a Nova Scotia First Aid Room?

An employer must ensure the required number of workplace first aiders are present during working hours. For a workplace with 200 or more employees, this requires multiple trained first aiders (often standard and advanced depending on the distance from medical care). Detailed written records of every injured employee given first aid must also be kept.

Can I reorder individual supplies to restock my First Aid Room?

Yes. We offer individual replacement items—from CSA-compliant trauma supplies to registers and signage—to ensure your Nova Scotia First Aid Room remains fully compliant and ready for emergency response at all times.
