Published by SALUSTo ensure workplace safety, it is important to have a well-maintained first aid kit that is readily accessible to all employees. Here are some key points regarding first aid kits based on the provided documents:
- Contents and Maintenance: First aid kits should contain supplies and equipment that are protected and kept in a clean and dry state. The contents should be checked regularly to ensure that expended items are replaced, and no other materials should be stored in the first aid kit [1].
- Accessibility: First aid supplies must be easily accessible and available for each shift. They should be stored in containers that protect the contents from damage, deterioration, or contamination, and these containers should be clearly marked and not locked [2].
- Customization: Employers should evaluate potential injuries specific to their workplace and stock first aid items accordingly. This may involve consulting with local medical professionals or emergency services to ensure that the kit meets the specific needs of the workplace [3].
- Regulatory Standards: While specific contents are not mandated, the American National Standard (ANSI) Z308.1-1998 provides a guideline for the minimum requirements for workplace first aid kits, which can be used as a reference for small worksites [3].
- First Aid Attendants: In the absence of nearby medical facilities, a qualified first aid person should be available at the worksite to render first aid. This person should have valid first aid training from recognized organizations [4].
- Record Keeping: It is important to maintain a first aid register where all treatments administered are recorded. This register should be available for inspection and retained for a minimum of five years [1].
By following these guidelines, employers can ensure that their first aid kits are adequately prepared to handle workplace injuries and comply with safety regulations.

## MEDICAL AND FIRST AID ## Appendix A to [redacted phone] - First aid kits (Non-Mandatory) First aid supplies are required to be readily available under paragraph [redacted phone](2)(c). By not listing specific first aid kit contents, the rule allows for compliance flexibility by emphasizing performance-based requirements. Employers need to evaluate both the potential injuries as well as injuries that have occurred in the workplace and stock first aid items to treat those injuries. As an example, but in no way a specific requirement, the minimal contents of a generic first aid kit is described in American National Standard (ANSI) Z308.1-1998 "Minimum Requirements for Workplace First-aid Kits." The contents of the kit listed in the ANSI standard should be adequate for small worksites. When larger operations or multiple operations are being conducted at the same location, employers should determine the need for additional first aid kits at the worksite, additional types of first aid equipment and supplies and additional quantities and types of supplies and equipment in the first aid kits. In a similar fashion, employers who have unique or changing first-aid needs in their workplace may need to enhance their first-aid kits. The employer can use the OSHA 300 log, worker compensation 801 forms or other reports to identify unique problems. Some of the basic contents may include disinfect and wound cover or include special items for treating burns. Consultation from the local fire/rescue department, appropriate medical professional, or local emergency room may be helpful to employers in these circumstances. By assessing the specific needs of their workplace, employers can ensure that reasonably anticipated supplies are available. Employers should assess the specific needs of their worksite periodically and augment the first aid kit appropriately. Employers are required to provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in compliance with the provisions of the…
