Trousses-secours-canada

Accidents and injuries at work are a fact. Sometimes, it can take quite a while for the emergency medical personnel to arrive, which can be dangerous to the health of the injured employee. Hence the necessity of having a well-trained personnel on-site and a well-equipped first aid kit. Is there any obligation for the employer regarding the first aid at work? Are there any training requirements for the first-aiders?
