Review OHS Bulletins from Chapter 1 Supplement: OHS Requirements for Alberta.

Some of the most serious injuries occur at workplaces because of the equipment involved and/or the nature of the work being performed. Emergencies happen in all kinds of workplace settings—industrial work sites, agricultural operations, construction sites, remote locations such as in forestry and mining industries, and even office environments.

Most workplaces are required by law to have first aid attendants. When you are employed as a workplace first aid attendant, you have the duty to act. Regulations require you to provide care to the level of your training and to document all incidents appropriately.

Your knowledge of what to do and your ability to react quickly can make a difference for an ill or injured employee. Applying your knowledge and expertise will help promote a safe and healthy workplace.
