Understanding Manitoba First Aid Room Requirements
In Manitoba, workplace first aid room requirements are strictly governed by Section 5.10 of the Workplace Safety and Health Regulation (Man. Reg. 217/2006). A dedicated first aid room is a legal requirement for any employer with 100 or more workers present at a workplace at one time. This room cannot be used for multi-purpose activities; it must be used exclusively for administering first aid.
The regulation mandates specific physical features and equipment for the room. It must be well-lit, adequately heated and ventilated, and large enough to comfortably accommodate a stretcher. Permanent plumbing is required, specifically a washbasin with hot and cold running water, as well as a secondary sink or slop sink. A patient bed or cot with a moisture-protected mattress and two pillows, a locking cabinet for supplies, and a communication system must also be present.
Beyond the physical room infrastructure, the facility must house adequate first aid supplies compliant with the CSA Z1220-17 standard. Because the 100-worker threshold triggers the maximum kit allocation (equivalent to up to four large kits), bulk medical supplies corresponding to your facility's hazard level (Type 2 Basic for Low Risk, or Type 3 Intermediate for Moderate/High Risk) must be maintained inside the room. Furthermore, the room must be supervised by a qualified first aider, typically holding an Advanced First Aid certificate (or higher) in industrial or high-risk settings.
