WorkSafeBC Backgrounder: Occupational First Aid Regulation Changes – Effective November 1, 2024
In April 2023, WorkSafeBC’s Board of Directors approved amendments to Part 3 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, relating to the provision of occupational first aid.
Effective November 1, 2024, revisions to the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation concerning occupational first aid will take effect. These adjustments require employers throughout the province to reassess their existing first aid strategies, provisions, and gear, and make necessary modifications.
WorkSafeBC develops OHS Guidelines to assist employers in the application and interpretation of changes to the OHS Regulation. We have posted the draft OHS Guidelines for Part 3 – Occupational First Aid for public comment.
Stakeholders can submit comments and revision requests until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
If you have questions or comments relating to the draft guidelines, please email regpraconsult@worksafebc.com.
