As of 2008, McMaster has introduced a new First Aid program. The program is intended to meet the WSIB's Regulation 1101: First Aid Requirements.

As per the terms of Regulation 1101, First Aid stations must be situated throughout the workplace at regular intervals so that injured persons can access treatment within 4 minutes. The stations must be staffed by an employee certified in Standard First Aid.

The First Aid Provider must complete an incident report in the case of any incident that requires first aid.

In the event of a serious injury, alert the local first aid provider and also dial 88 for emergency assistance.
