👋 Welcome to the First Aid Direct Digital Audit Tool for PEI Workplaces. Use this interactive checklist to conduct your inspection on any device, or click print to generate a formatted paper compliance log. Suitable for all provincially regulated workplaces in Prince Edward Island — retail, construction, offices, healthcare support, hospitality, manufacturing, agriculture, and more.
*Requirements are based on Part 9 of the PEI Occupational Health and Safety Act General Regulations , as updated effective January 1, 2025, administered by the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) of PEI . Kit contents follow CSA Z1220-17 (R2021). This tool is for guidance only — always refer to the OHS Act and its Regulations and the WCB Workplace First Aid Regulations Guide for official requirements.
📊 How to Determine Your Risk Level — It Starts With a Written Assessment. PEI regulations require every employer to complete a written workplace first aid risk assessment before selecting a kit or designating first aiders.
Low risk = administrative, professional, or clerical work with no substantial physical exertion or hazardous exposure (e.g., office environments).
Moderate risk = all workplaces that are neither low nor high risk (e.g., retail, restaurants, light manufacturing, warehouses, schools).
High risk = tasks where injury is more likely and potentially severe (e.g., construction, logging, heavy industry, confined space work). Where mixed risk levels exist in one workplace, the
highest risk level applies to the whole site. Download the WCB risk assessment template →
Part A: PEI Administrative Requirements (All Workplaces)
Written Workplace First Aid Risk Assessment Completed: A written workplace first aid risk assessment has been carried out by a competent person, in consultation with the OHS committee, safety representative, or workers as applicable. The assessment identifies hazards, the likelihood of injury, and severity, and determines the appropriate kit type and first aider training level. (OHS Act General Regulations Part 9; WCB Guide Chapter 4)
Risk Assessment Reviewed Annually (or More Frequently if Conditions Change): The risk assessment is reviewed at least once per year to confirm it remains accurate. Unless requested by a WCB OHS Officer, the assessment does not need to be submitted to WCB. If found inadequate, an OHS Officer may order additional supplies or training. (WCB Guide Section 4.3)
Kit Type and Size Match the Risk Assessment Result: The first aid kit(s) on site match the risk level and shift size identified in the written assessment. Low risk → Type 2 Basic; Moderate or High risk → Type 3 Intermediate. For mixed-risk workplaces, the highest risk level applies to the entire site. Kit type, size, and quantity must all comply. (WCB Guide Chapter 5)
First Aider Certification Level Matches Risk Assessment: Designated first aiders hold the correct certification level. Low risk → Basic; Moderate risk → Intermediate; High risk → Advanced. Certificates issued before January 1, 2025 under old names (Emergency/Standard/Advanced) remain valid until their expiry date, after which recertification under the new names is required. (WCB Guide Chapter 6)
Sufficient First Aiders to Cover All Shifts: At least one workplace first aider with a valid, current certificate is available whenever workers are present. When determining how many first aiders to designate, account for work schedules, workplace layout, planned and unplanned absences, and any workers with special needs. (WCB Guide Section 6.0)
First Aider Name and Phone Number Posted: A sign is posted at each workplace stating the name and phone number of the designated workplace first aider(s). Where posting is not practical, all workers must be directly informed of the name and phone number. Use the WCB's First Aider/Kit Location Poster template (Appendix D of the WCB Guide). (WCB Guide Chapter 3 — phone number requirement is unique to PEI)
First Aid Kit Location Signage Posted: Signs are posted indicating the location(s) of all first aid kits. Where posting is not possible, all workers must be informed directly of kit locations. Kits are stored clean, dry, and readily accessible during working hours (reachable quickly and safely, without tools or keys). (OHS Act General Regulations Part 9; WCB Guide Section 5.1)
Quarterly Kit Inspection Completed: Kits have been inspected within the last 90 days, or since last use — whichever is sooner. All items confirmed present, within expiry, clean, and in useable condition. Any item that has been used, is expired, or is damaged must be replaced at the employer's cost. (CSA Z1220-17, as cited in WCB Guide Section 5.2)
First Aid Records Maintained for 5 Years: Written records of all first aid treatment provided at the workplace are kept confidential and retained for a minimum of 5 years . Records must include the worker's name, date/time and location of injury, nature of injury, time first aid was given, treatment provided, name of first aider, and who the injury was reported to. Electronic records are permitted if readily accessible. The WCB provides a First Aid Provided Record Template (Appendix E of the WCB Guide). (WCB Guide Chapter 8)
OHS Policy and Safety Representative or Committee in Place (if applicable): If you have 5–19 regularly employed workers , you need a written OHS Policy and a Health and Safety Representative. If you have 20 or more regularly employed workers , you also need a Joint OHS Committee and a Safety Program. The committee must meet at least once per month and post meeting minutes. ("Regularly employed" includes seasonal workers with recurring employment exceeding 12 weeks.)
Workers Working Alone — First Aid Access Confirmed: If any workers work alone (where assistance is not readily available in an emergency), they have access to an appropriate first aid kit based on the workplace first aid risk assessment. Lone workers must also have adequate first aid training. (WCB Guide Section 5.1 — Working Alone)
Employer Vehicles Used to Transport Workers — First Aid Kit Equipped: Any vehicle or boat used by or under the control of the employer to transport workers to and from a workplace is equipped with a Type 3 Intermediate First Aid Kit , sized according to the seating capacity of the vehicle. Workers using personal vehicles regularly only for themselves must have at minimum a Type 1 Personal First Aid Kit . (WCB Guide Section 5.1 — Vehicles and Boats)
Additional Supplies Matched to Workplace-Specific Hazards: Where the risk assessment identifies specific hazards (e.g., chemical exposure, anaphylaxis risk, eye injuries, fall hazards, burns, heavy bleeding), appropriate additional first aid supplies beyond the CSA minimum have been stocked. Examples include: saline eyewash solution, burn dressings, epinephrine self-injectors, AED, additional tourniquets, and oxygen equipment. Additional supplies are paired with appropriate first aider training. (WCB Guide Appendix C)
Less-Accessible Workplaces — Enhanced Provisions in Place (if applicable): If your workplace cannot be reached by land ambulance, or has work areas ambulance attendants cannot safely access (e.g., scaffolding, confined spaces, remote terrain, over water), the risk assessment has addressed appropriate transportation and first aider competency to safely move injured workers to accessible areas. (WCB Guide Section 4.1)
Part B: Select your risk level and shift size to verify kit requirements:
Your kit type is determined by your written workplace first aid risk assessment — not just your shift size. Select the combination below that matches your documented assessment results. Where multiple risk levels coexist, always select the highest risk level present.

Understanding PEI Workplace First Aid Requirements — All Industries
First aid requirements for all provincially regulated workplaces in Prince Edward Island are governed by Part 9 of the General Regulations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS Act) , administered by the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) of PEI . The regulations took effect January 1, 2025, and the WCB's official Workplace First Aid Regulations Guide was updated in February 2026 . The regulations apply to all provincially regulated employers and workers, with limited exceptions for hospitals, nursing homes, and private residences with home offices for remote workers. Kit contents must comply with CSA Z1220-17 (R2021); first aid training must comply with CSA Z1210-17.
The defining feature of PEI's updated framework is that all first aid requirements — kit type, kit size, and training level — flow from a mandatory written workplace first aid risk assessment . This assessment must be performed by a competent person, in consultation with the OHS committee, safety representative, or workers as applicable. It must be reviewed at least annually and kept on file for review by a WCB OHS Officer on request. The three risk levels are: Low risk (administrative, clerical, professional work — requires Type 2 Basic kit and Basic first aider); Moderate risk (all workplaces that are neither low nor high risk — requires Type 3 Intermediate kit and Intermediate first aider); and High risk (tasks with high likelihood and potential severity of injury — requires Type 3 Intermediate kit and Advanced first aider). Where mixed risk levels exist in one workplace, the highest risk level governs the entire site.
Key PEI-specific employer obligations include: the first aider's name and phone number must be posted (not just a name — this is unique among Atlantic provinces); first aid incident records must be retained for 5 years ; kits must be inspected at least every 90 days or after each use; and first aid training providers no longer need WCB Director approval — any provider compliant with CSA Z1210-17 is acceptable. First aid certificates issued before January 1, 2025 under old names (Emergency, Standard, Advanced) remain valid until expiry. Employers with 5–19 regularly employed workers must have a written OHS Policy and a Health and Safety Representative; those with 20 or more must also have a Joint OHS Committee and Safety Program. "Regularly employed" includes seasonal workers in recurring positions exceeding 12 weeks. Workplaces with more than 100 regularly employed workers performing above low-risk work must also maintain a dedicated first aid room equipped to WCB specifications. Employer vehicles transporting workers require a Type 3 Intermediate First Aid Kit sized to seating capacity; workers using personal vehicles for work must carry at minimum a Type 1 Personal First Aid Kit.
