2. When 50 people or fewer are on a work site, the safety coordinator must ensure that there is at least one first-aider per work shift on the site at all times. 3. When 50 people or more are on a work site, the safety coordinator must ensure that there is at least one first aid attendant per work shift on the site at all times. There must be one additional first aid attendant for every hundred or fraction of one hundred additional people assigned to this work shift. 4. When more than 100 people are on the work site, the producer must plan for a location where the first- aiders and first aid attendants will be able to administer first aid. This location—it can be a trailer or the “support room (CCM*)”—must be clearly indicated, easily accessible and available at all times, kept clean and in good order, ventilated, lighted, adequately heated, and provided with water and a first aid kit. It must contain a stretcher or a bed, two chairs, one table, soap, a nail brush, and paper towels. 5. The producer must provide to all members of the production crew a communication system with the first aid attendants, first-aiders or the local emergency services. The telephone numbers to be dialed in an emergency must also be clearly indicated. 6. The safety coordinator must indicate on the call sheet the name of the first aid attendant or first-aider, how to contact him when he is working, and in the case where there are 100 people or more on the site, the location where first aid will be provided. 7. The first aid attendant or first-aider who gives first aid to a member of the production cast and crew must fill out a report and give it to the safety coordinator. He must indicate the person’s family name and given name, the date and the time; he must describe the incident that occurred or the discomfort felt, as well as the nature of the care given. The safety coordinator completes a notice of accident for the CSST if neces- sary, and keeps these documents in a register.
