First Aid & CPR Quebec
Summary for First Aid & CPR Quebec
First aid and CPR training is regulated by law in Quebec. Whether you are an employer, a childcare provider, or an individual who wants to be prepared, this section outlines the legal framework that applies to your region so you can make informed decisions about your training.
Workplace first aid requirements
In Quebec, workplace first aid is governed by Act Respecting Industrial Accidents and Occupational Diseases (AIAOD, R.S.Q., c. A-3.001), administered by Government of Quebec. Employers must ensure a trained first aider is available at all times.
Good Samaritan law
Quebec imposes a legal duty to rescue. The law both protects voluntary rescuers and requires them to act in emergency situations.
Childcare CPR & first aid requirements
Childcare providers in Quebec must hold valid first aid and CPR certification under Educational Childcare Act (R.S.Q., c. S-4.1.1, s. 20). Renewal every 3 years.
