Book your First Aid Audit Today

Regular first aid audits are a must for organizations committed to the health and safety of their workforce.

With recent changes to the Worker’s Compensation Board in BC, the responsibility on employers to provide adequate first aid coverage has never been greater. This is especially so in terms of first aid training, first aid kits and equipment, first aid rooms, ambulances and advanced paramedic or nursing staff.

If you are unsure of your responsibilities, or need help to satisfy your legal requirements, our skilled consultants can audit your current first aid levels and advise on what is required. It is a small price to pay for compliance and peace of mind.
