The Foundation: Your “Duty of Care” in Plain Language
At its core, both federal and provincial law require employers to take every reasonable precaution to keep workers safe. This is your “general duty.” In a city, “reasonable” might mean a standard first aid kit and a trained employee who can call 911. In the backcountry, where help is hours or even days away, “reasonable” changes completely.
Standard first aid certifications are built for the street, not the trail.
