What OSHA requires
OSHA's medical services and first aid standard says adequate first aid supplies must be readily available. It doesn't list the contents; a non-mandatory appendix gives the ANSI Z308.1 standard for workplace first aid kits as an example of minimal contents, and asks employers to add what their own hazards call for. A clinic's staff first aid kit is separate from its emergency kit for patients.
How to use this checklist
- Check the kit on a set schedule; this sheet is laid out for every two months, and after every use.
- Write the earliest expiry date for anything that expires, such as ointments, eye wash and burn gel.
- Restock anything used or expired the same day, and initial the box.
- Keep the kit where every employee can reach it quickly, and make sure they know where it is.
Questions
Is the first aid kit the same as the emergency kit?
No. The first aid kit is for everyday cuts, burns and minor injuries to anyone on site. The emergency kit holds the drugs and equipment your medical director specifies for patient emergencies such as anaphylaxis or vascular occlusion. Check both.
Does OSHA require a specific first aid kit?
OSHA requires adequate supplies but doesn't mandate a specific list. Its non-mandatory appendix points to the ANSI Z308.1 standard for workplace first aid kits as an example; choose the size and contents for your workplace and number of staff.
