Section 3.21(2) of the Occupational Health & Safety Regulation (OHSR) states:
A first aid attendant must be physically and mentally capable of safely
and effectively performing the required duties and the Board may at any
time require the attendant to provide a medical certificate.
Participation in first aid training courses and performing the duties of a first aid attendant
in the field can be physically demanding and may require prolonged kneeling, working in
stooped positions, and rolling patients. Depending on the working conditions, these
physical demands can become rigorous.
