First-aid in the Workplace

A mandatory training for all businesses

The CSST sees to the administration and application of laws and regulations governing occupational health and safety in Quebec.   The First-aid Minimum Standards Regulation requires that the employer of an establishment or the principal contractor of a construction site guarantees a minimum number of first-aid workers in the workplace and during working hours and an efficient first-aid service.

The first-aid workers in the workplace are employees who, at the end of a 16 hour training, acquire the required knowledge and skills to intervene during a medical emergency or work-related accident.
