Types of First Aid Kits

First aid kits differ in their variety and quantity of supplies – selecting the right kit will help treat most injuries that may occur in the workplace. Choosing a kit begins with evaluating the hazards your workplace may face and their potential risk. If the risk potential is high, select the option for a kit containing a large assortment of supplies.

Another crucial step is to consider the number of employees the kit is intended to serve. The more employees working in your workplace and on the same shift, the more supplies your kit requires.

Type 1 | Personal First Aid Supplies

Type 1 kits are best suited for individual use. They are ideal for workers who work in isolation or do not have direct access to workplace first aid supplies. If the risk of harm to an individual worker is low, opt for a Type 1 individual first aid kit.

Type 2 | Basic First Aid Supplies

Type 2 kits are suitable for minor injuries and most workplaces with a low-risk working environment. The basic kit is available in three sizes (small, medium, and large), each containing the minimum CSA-required contents. The size of the kit needed will depend on the number of workers in a workspace at one time.

Type 3 | Intermediate First Aid Supplies

Type 3 first aid kits are optimal for work environments with high-risk levels. Each Type 3 kit will have all the items in a Type 2 kit, according to CSA regulations, and additional items for workplaces with a higher risk potential. Similarly to the Type 2 kit, Type 3 first aid kits feature small, medium, and large sizes.
