New First Aid Requirements with WorkSafeBC

New first aid requirements come into effect November 1, 2024.

To assist employers in preparing to implement these new requirements, join us as WorkSafeBC addresses the changes in the Regulation, and reviews the following:
• Workplace class factors: Definition of “remote” and “less-accessible,” and the classes
• Basic requirements that an employer must provide in the workplace
• Written first aid assessments: the information needed and the frequency
• Worker involvement in assessments: who is involved (as applicable)
• Annual drills: frequency and rationale
• Equipment requirements
• Credential changes

A question and answer period will follow the presentation. Have your questions answered directly from WorkSafeBC.

Advance questions welcomed; please submit them to education@eca.bc.ca
