Understanding Alberta Restaurant First Aid Requirements
Navigating commercial kitchen compliance in Alberta means adhering to the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code (Part 11). Effective March 31, 2023, Alberta formally adopted the national CSA Z1220-17 standard for workplace first aid kits. This shift standardizes exactly what medical supplies must be accessible on your restaurant floor.
For restaurants, cafes, and hospitality venues, the hazard level is generally considered intermediate to high due to burns, lacerations, and slips. Depending on your maximum staff size per shift, you are required to have a specific CSA Type 2 Basic kit: Small (2-25 workers), Medium (26-50 workers), or Large (51-100 workers).
In addition to standard OHS regulations, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and local health authorities mandate food-safe specific supplies, such as highly visible blue bandages, which are essential for any commercial prep kitchen. Using this digital audit tool helps you confidently manage your monthly inspections and seamlessly reorder missing compliant supplies.
