   Occupational Health & Safety Notice: Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) was recently notified by employers about receiving calls from supply companies selling first aids kits. While employers are required to provide a first aid station and kit under this section of The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 & Regulations, OHS does not prescribe how an employer must obtain supplies or approve a supplier. Employers should obtain the station and kit from legitimate retailers, keeping in mind it is still the responsibility of the employer to ensure the safety kit is compliant with the legislation and regulations. For more information on OHS legislation and regulations, please contact OHS at 1-800-567-7233.
In 1972, Saskatchewan pioneered occupational health and safety legislation in Canada. This was the first jurisdiction to legislate a system that made health and safety the joint responsibility of management and workers, required worker-management occupational health committees to be actively involved in identifying and resolving health and safety concerns and enshrined and protected workers' fundamental rights.
