First Aid Kit Supplies – Always on the Job
from:You know you need first aid kit supplies for your home, but just as important are having kits available on the job. The big difference between the two is often a matter of sheer numbers. At work there could be hundreds of people accessing the first aid kit on a regular basis. Determining which supplies the kit should contain can be a bit of a challenge, but there are basic items every kit should contain.
Industrial and other work place first aid kit supplies are usually kept in a large cabinet than can be hung on the wall. Often, it’s a big familiar red cross painted on the door that indicates it holds emergency supplies. It’s a common symbol that people everywhere recognize. But work place first aid kits have another common feature. They must meet or exceed OSHA standards in order to pass government inspection.
Work place first aid kit supplies must be stocked in a way that prepares the company for unforeseen minor injuries. Most industrial kits also address specific injuries that often occur on the job. These include cuts to the body, chemicals splashed in the eye, skin reactions to chemicals and pulled muscles. Home kits are not normally prepared to deal with problems such as chemical accidents.
Workplace first aid kit supplies can include the following.
• CPR shield
• Knuckle bandages
• Antiseptic gloves
• Sterile eye wash
• Burn gel
• Ice packs
• Sterile eye pads
These first aid kit supplies are in addition to the normal supplies found in kits. Standard first aid kit supplies include items like stop-bleeding powder, antibiotic creams and ointments, tweezers, band-aids, stretch bandage, gauze pads and gauze. It’s not hard to see that some on-the-job first aid kits can become quite large.
Most workplace first aid kits are designed to be refilled with supplies as the contents are used. You can even purchase refill kits. That feature saves money and makes it easier to keep tabs on the supplies needing refilling. A handy checklist on the door indicating what should be in the cabinet makes doing an inventory quick and easy. Smaller kits, in addition to the larger cabinet, can be kept at different areas in the office, warehouse or plant for quick access to band-aids and ointments.
For those workplace situations with high risk of serious injury, there are special first aid kit supplies that can be assembled. These major trauma kits are filled with all the standard supplies but also have important equipment for dealing with broken bones, heart attacks or blunt force trauma.
There are many ways to assemble first aid kit supplies for the workplace. You have to assess the need and types of minor emergencies that occur. Having a first aid kit readily available and well-stocked is important for job safety.
