First aid kit meets CAN/CSA Z1220-17 low risk for 25 workers and less

This first aid kit meets the CAN/CSA Z1220-17 requirements for low and moderate risk establishments in Quebec. The contents are suitable to protect 25 workers or less. This first aid kit contains 20 different types of items. It is designated by some manufacturers as a Type 2 kit or the small basic kit.

To better meet your needs, we offer three container models for this kit. Please make your selection using the drop-down menu.

The first container is made of injection molded plastic. It is suitable for locations where kits are not used very often. The hard plastic case closes with two latches. The handle allows for wall mounting. It is important to say that the opening and closing mechanism is not designed to last long. Fatigue breakage is common. The advantage resides in its modest cost.

The second choice is made of metal. This is certainly the best choice to guarantee a longer life. This sturdy metal case opens at the top and closes with two latches. The case has a handle on the top. The cover includes a black rubber gasket. The back of the case has two tabs with holes for wall mounting. The opening mechanisms remain in place while the piano hinge ensures its longevity. This type of case predisposes you to later refills of your kits.

The third one comes in a soft bag. It is compact and easier to carry. It does, however, require a bit of imagination for installation. It is important to remember that proper installation should allow quick and easy access for everyone. It is recommended that the kits be installed in designated areas. Wall-mounted kits are the most common, as they remain visible while looking good. The installation of fixed kits with the plastic or metal model is facilitated, the box was designed for this type of installation. Nevertheless, the usefulness of the soft kit is justified as additional kits assigned to the rescuer. Some rescuers keep this kit in their offices, as an insurance against products that could be missing in the fixed kit available to all.

Rules for the implementation of the kits in the establishments.
Depending on the distribution of workers in a company, it is possible to select several types of kits to protect more than 25 workers. The installation of several kits of this model may be suitable for multiples of 25 employees. For example, it is possible to install two kits for an area with 50 workers, thus allowing faster access. The principle of access in less than 30 seconds of walking time remains to be considered. The same applies to multi-storey buildings where the number of kits must protect workers on one floor.
