In Nunavut, the number and level of designated first-aiders come from a risk assessment combining workers per shift and remoteness (close/distant/isolated), with work-site first-aiders holding an Intermediate or Advanced qualification under the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, Part 5. The regime is administered jointly with the NWT by the WSCC under the Safety Act, applying CSA Z1210-17 and Z1220-17 standards effective January 1, 2021.

In Nunavut, the Child Day Care Standards Regulations under the Child Day Care Act (s.53) require every staff person employed in a child day care facility to hold a certificate in first aid, together with CPR training where available. The standard is administered by the Government of Nunavut Department of Education (Early Learning and Child Care), and online courses are accepted.

In Nunavut, the Emergency Medical Aid Act (RSNWT (Nu) 1988, c E-4), inherited from the NWT and continued by the territory, rules out liability for damages from acts or omissions of a person who voluntarily and without expectation of compensation provides emergency medical services or first aid at the immediate scene, unless there is gross negligence, and it covers both professionals and laypersons. There is no legal duty to rescue and no dedicated defibrillator statute, so lay AED use falls under the Act's general immunity.

Nurses in Nunavut are regulated jointly with the NWT by the College and Association of Nurses of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut (CANNN), attesting annually to a Continuing Competency Plan built around two learning goals rather than fixed hours, with roughly 10% of members audited each year. Clinically relevant training such as BLS or CPR can count among plan activities, and a current BLS/CPR certificate is generally an employer requirement in hospital, long-term-care and community settings rather than a licensing condition.

In Nunavut, elder-care homes and home-support services are staffed by Personal Support Workers who may be required to hold first-aid certification so they can respond to residents in an emergency, and Nunavut Arctic College health programs require a Standard First Aid/CPR-C certificate. A recognized, up-to-date first-aid/CPR certificate meets this expectation, in addition to the worker's occupational training, and must be renewed periodically.

In Nunavut, foster parents are approved by the Department of Family Services under the Child and Family Services Act, following a medical examination, a criminal record check and the Foster Family Manual process. A current first-aid and CPR certificate from a recognized organization is commonly expected as part of caregiver preparation and confirmed by the local Community Social Services office, though it is not fixed by a single explicit statutory clause.

Online CPR and first aid training is recognized in Nunavut, whether for personal knowledge, childcare licensing, or employer requirements. The practical portion of CSA levels is normally in person, which complicates access in isolated regions, and certification is valid for 3 years.
