The Type 3 First Aid Kit – Large – CSA Z1220-24 Standard Requirements is an Intermediate First Aid Kit sized for workplaces with 51 to 100 employees in a high-risk environment — settings such as mining, oil and gas, forestry, construction, or machine shops where the likelihood and severity of injury is greater than in a typical office or retail setting.
This kit is built to the updated CSA Z1220-24 standard, the edition of the national workplace first aid kit standard that Quebec and Nova Scotia have adopted. Since each province sets its own requirements, other jurisdictions may adopt this updated edition at a later date; in the meantime they continue to operate under the previous CSA Z1220-17 standard. Which kit type and size a workplace needs depends on the number of employees per shift and the level of injury risk in the work being performed.
This Large kit is the top tier of the Type 3 line, scaled up from the Medium kit — most quantities roughly double, though a few items (elastic bandages, emergency blankets, sugar packets, and trauma pads) increase by a smaller margin. It includes a Windlass-style tourniquet — this kit already used a Windlass-style tourniquet under the previous CSA Z1220-17 edition, so this is unchanged going into Z1220-24 — alongside a CPR mask with one-way valve, padded splints, plastic eye shields, sterile eye pads, instant cold packs, and sugar packets for diabetic emergencies.
Inside, this kit packs 411 pieces of CSA-specified first aid and trauma supplies across 31 item types: assorted fabric and plastic adhesive bandages, sterile gauze pads in multiple sizes, sterile non-adherent pads, trauma pads, sterile compression bandages with gauze ties, two sizes of conforming stretch gauze bandages, elastic bandages, triangular bandages, benzalkonium chloride (BZK) antiseptic wipes, alcohol-based hand disinfectant wipes, medical examination gloves, bandage scissors, forceps, biohazard waste bags, emergency rescue blankets, a CPR mask, sugar packets, instant cold packs, padded splints, plastic eye shields, sterile eye pads, and a Windlass-style tourniquet. Choose the case style that suits your workplace: a soft nylon bag, a hard plastic case, or a metal case — or order a refill if you're restocking a case you already own.
