Provincial standards

Each province has its own rules as to what a kit should contain and the number that you must have in the workplace. However, one must know that across Canada, kits are required in the workplace.

In addition, the quantities and products found in the workplace are different from what is typically found in drugstores or department stores, for personal use.
