Why Every Workplace Needs a Certified First Aider

Placeholder content — this post is a placeholder used to test the blog template and will be replaced with real content from First 2 Aid Inc.

Under Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, most workplaces are required to have a minimum number of certified first aiders on-site during working hours, scaled to headcount and hazard level.

What the requirement actually covers

• At least one certified first aider present on every shift
• A stocked first aid kit that matches your workplace's risk category
• Records showing certifications are current and haven't lapsed

The real cost of letting certifications lapse

A missed recertification isn't just a compliance gap — it's a gap in your team's actual ability to respond when it matters. Certifications typically need renewal every one to three years depending on the course.
