New Regulation
A recent change to the Construction Projects Regulation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act now requires construction sites to have and maintain an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) along with the necessary accessories.
This requirement does not apply to projects expected to last less than three months.
Employers should be aware that this change takes effect January 1, 2026.
