In Ontario, restaurants are legally required under WSIB Regulation 1101 to provide both first aid supplies and certified training for their staff. The rules scale with the size of your team: even with as few as five employees, at least one worker on every shift must hold a valid Emergency First Aid certificate, and larger teams require Standard First Aid certification. The workplace must keep fully stocked and inspected first aid kits, and in bigger operations, stretchers, blankets, or even a dedicated first aid room are required. All training must come from a WSIB-approved provider, certificates must be kept up to date, and employers are responsible for covering both the training costs and the employee’s time while in training. For restaurants, this means having reliable, compliant training and equipment in place is not just good practice—it’s the law.
