OHS First Aid Regulations CNLR 1148/96 & CSA Z1220-17 — Required for 200+ Workers

👋 Welcome to the First Aid Direct Digital Audit Tool — NL First Aid Rooms. In Newfoundland and Labrador, a dedicated First Aid Room is legally required for any workplace employing 200 or more workers on a single shift. Use this interactive checklist to conduct your facility inspection, or click print to generate a compliance log. Requirements are based directly on the Schedule to the Occupational Health and Safety First Aid Regulations (CNLR 1148/96).
⚠️ Advanced First Aid Attendant Required. A first aid room must be under the direct supervision of a designated first aid attendant holding an Advanced First Aid Certificate (or higher, such as an RN or physician). An additional worker holding an Emergency First Aid Certificate is required for every 25 workers (or fraction thereof) beyond the first 200.

Part A: Room Specifications & Facility Requirements

Part B: Required Furnishings (Per Schedule)

Part C: Equipment & Instruments (Per Schedule)

The NL Schedule mandates "1 No. 3 first aid kit" to be kept in the room. Under updated CSA Z1220-17 guidelines, this equates to a Type 3 Intermediate Large kit (sufficient for up to 100 workers on its own).

Setting Up a WorkplaceNL Compliant First Aid Room

Under the Occupational Health and Safety First Aid Regulations (CNLR 1148/96), employers in Newfoundland and Labrador must provide a dedicated first aid room when employing 200 or more workers on a single shift, or when explicitly directed by an OHS officer. This requirement ensures that large-scale operations—such as major construction sites, offshore hubs, large manufacturing plants, and substantial corporate facilities—have the infrastructure required to triage and treat occupational injuries effectively before emergency medical services arrive.

Unlike standard first aid kits, a First Aid Room carries strict facility and personnel mandates. The room must measure at least 2.5m by 3.7m, be adequately heated, lit, and ventilated, and be furnished with specific medical assets ranging from a patient bed and treatment chair to hot/cold plumbing and an integrated Type 3 Intermediate Large First Aid Kit. More importantly, the room must be supervised by an attendant holding a valid, WorkplaceNL-designated Advanced First Aid Certificate (or a qualified RN/physician), supplemented by Emergency First Aiders for every 25 workers beyond the 200-worker threshold. Regular audits of these items and strict 5-year retention of the required First Aid Register are critical components of your broader OHS program.
