Every business is required to have a first aid kit available to employees. They must be checked on a regular basis to make sure they are stocked and no products are out of date.
There are requirements for minimum supplies in first aid kits (bandages, cold packs, compress, adhesive tape, antiseptic, burn treatment, exam gloves, triangular bandage). Many companies stock more than the minimum requirements. Additional supplies should be relevant to the potential first aid needs in your company, and within your budget. If supplies expire without getting used, we recommend re-evaluating whether or not you really need those supplies.
Medications, saline solution and other products should all be in single use packets. Once opened, containers should be disposed of.
If you have questions about first aid supplies for your company, or if you need first aid/CPR training, please contact us.
