Emergency First Aid is now called Basic First Aid, and Standard First Aid is now called Intermediate First Aid, bringing Ontario in line with the national CSA Z1210:24 standard for workplace first aid training. The skills are familiar, but the new names have left plenty of employers wondering which course they actually need. This post explains the difference in plain language, walks through Ontario&#8217;s requirements by the number of workers per shift, and shows how simple it is to book on site training with First Aid Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Changed and What Stayed the Same<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsib.ca\/en\/firstaid\">Programme de premiers soins de la WSIB<\/a> update changed the names of the courses and certificates, aligned training with CSA Z1210:24 and opened up a larger network of approved training providers across the province. Approved providers now display a First Aid Program badge so businesses can confirm who is authorized to train their staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did not change is just as important. Regulation 1101, the rule that sets out first aid requirements for Ontario workplaces, is not changing, and it still uses the older names. The WSIB treats Basic First Aid as equivalent to Emergency First Aid and Intermediate First Aid as equivalent to Standard First Aid, so a business that was compliant before the update is still compliant today. Certificates issued up to June 21, 2026 remain valid until they expire, and there is no need to retrain anyone early because of the name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic First Aid vs Intermediate First Aid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/product\/emergency-basic-first-aid\/\">Basic First Aid<\/a> is a one day course of about eight hours. It covers the core skills every workplace first aider needs, including emergency scene management, CPR and choking response for adults, children and infants, AED use, and first aid for wounds, burns, medical emergencies and head and spine injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/standard-first-aid\/\">Intermediate First Aid<\/a> is a two day course of about sixteen hours. It builds on the same foundation and goes further into a wider range of injuries and medical emergencies, such as bone, muscle and joint injuries, along with CPR and AED training. Because it is the more complete course, Intermediate First Aid is the certificate most Ontario workplaces with more than five workers on a shift will need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both certificates are valid for three years from the date they are issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ontario Requirements by Workers per Shift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsib.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/0455a_firstaidreqs_eng_web_202607.pdf\">Regulation 1101<\/a>, the level of training and equipment a workplace needs depends on how many workers are on any one shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A workplace with five or fewer workers on a shift needs a first aid station in the charge of at least one worker who holds Basic First Aid, formerly called Emergency First Aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A workplace with more than five and up to fifteen workers on a shift needs a first aid station in the charge of at least one worker who holds Intermediate First Aid, formerly called Standard First Aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A workplace with more than fifteen and fewer than 200 workers on a shift needs a worker with Intermediate First Aid, plus a stretcher and two blankets on site. First Aid Canada carries <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/product-category\/equipment\/stretchers-accessories\/stretchers\/\">stretchers<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/product-category\/first-aid-supplies\/blankets-accessories\/\">first aid blankets<\/a> et le <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/product\/ontario-section-10-first-aid-kit\/\">Trousse de premiers soins de l&#039;Ontario (Section 10)<\/a> built for this size of workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A workplace with 200 or more workers on a shift needs a fully equipped first aid room, in the charge of a registered nurse or a worker who holds Intermediate First Aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first aider has to work in the immediate vicinity of the first aid station and be available whenever work is in progress. In practice, that means a business running two shifts needs a certified first aider on each one, and someone who often works off site or spends the day in closed door meetings is not the best choice. The WSIB also suggests that a first aider should be able to reach an injured person within about two minutes, so larger or spread out sites may need more than one. Every first aid station needs a kit that meets the regulation, and the full range of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/product-category\/first-aid-kits\/canada-provincial-regulation-first-aid-kits\/ontario-first-aid-kits\/\">Ontario WSIB regulation first aid kits<\/a> is available on the First Aid Canada site. Kits must be inspected at least four times a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outside Ontario<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workplace first aid requirements vary by province and territory, so the right course and kit depend on where the work happens. The WSIB accepts current workplace first aid certificates from anywhere in Canada as long as they meet the CSA Z1210 standard. First Aid Canada carries <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/product-category\/first-aid-kits\/canada-provincial-regulation-first-aid-kits\/\">provincial regulation kits<\/a> for every province and territory, and the team is happy to help any business match its training and supplies to local rules through the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/contact-us\/\">Page Contactez-nous<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How On Site Training Works With First Aid Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avec <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/first-aid-training\/\">on site first aid training<\/a>, a certified instructor comes to the workplace, so the whole team learns together in the environment where they would actually respond to an emergency. Booking takes three steps online. First, choose the course. Next, pick a date and enter the training location. Finally, book and pay to confirm the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First Aid Canada&#8217;s workplace training is recognized by the WSIB, and every course supports a good cause. Through the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/giving-back\/\">Programme de redonner<\/a>, First Aid Canada makes a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada for every participant enrolled in on site CPR and first aid training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Certificate Expiry Dates Before the New Year<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end of the year is a good time to look at the certificates posted at each first aid station, since Regulation 1101 requires them to be displayed and valid. Anyone with an Intermediate First Aid certificate can recertify once with a one day course, as long as they do it before the original certificate expires. Once a certificate has expired, or after it has already been renewed once, the full course is needed again. Booking early in the year keeps every shift covered and avoids a scramble when several certificates run out at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book your team&#8217;s Basic or Intermediate First Aid training online through the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/first-aid-training\/\">First Aid Training page<\/a>, or <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/firstaidcanada.com\/fr\/contact-us\/\">contacter Premiers secours Canada<\/a> with any questions about which course fits your workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is the difference between Basic and Intermediate First Aid?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic First Aid is a one day course of about eight hours that covers core first aid skills, CPR and AED use. Intermediate First Aid is a two day course of about sixteen hours that covers a wider range of injuries and medical emergencies, plus CPR and AED use. In Ontario, workplaces with more than five workers on a shift need at least one first aider with Intermediate First Aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are Emergency First Aid and Standard First Aid certificates still valid?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Certificates issued up to June 21, 2026 remain valid until they expire. The WSIB treats Basic First Aid as equivalent to Emergency First Aid and Intermediate First Aid as equivalent to Standard First Aid, and Regulation 1101 still uses the older names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How many first aiders does an Ontario workplace need?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulation 1101 does not set a fixed ratio, but there must be at least one certified first aider available whenever work is in progress, which means one on every shift. The WSIB suggests that a first aider should be able to reach an injured person within about two minutes, so larger or spread out workplaces may need more than one.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since June 22, 2026, workplace first aid courses approved by the WSIB in Ontario have new names.
