General Safety
First Aid Kit
First aid supplies must be maintained and readily available for treating minor injuries suffered on the job. The list of contents below is suitable in first aid kits for small worksites.
Minimum requirements for workplace first-aid kits:*
- 4”x8” absorbent compress(es)
- Band-aids
- Medical tape
- Antiseptic applications
- Burn treatment applications
- Triple antibiotic ointment applications
- 3”x3” sterile pads
- Exam gloves
- Triangle bandage
- Eye pads
- Scissors
- Tweezers
- CPR mask(s)
*Although OSHA does not list specific content requirements for first aid kits, there are general guidelines available for minimum supplies based on the American National Standard (ANSI) Z308.1–1998
First aid kits can be tailored to the type of injury(s) anticipated in any given work area(s).
For example:
- Machine shops should consider additional absorbent compresses for bleeding control
- Material handling areas should consider tweezers or a splinter removal kit
- Dining programs should consider burn applications
First aid kits should NOT contain oral medications.
When larger or multiple operations are conducted in the same location, determine the need for additional first aid supply quantities, types of supplies, and first aid equipment.
EHS does not provide first aid kits - departments must provide kits for their areas and ensure that they are adequately stocked with supplies.
Small Vehicle Operations
All operators must take training prior to driving a small vehicle, including employees, students and volunteers. It is the responsibility of the supervisor to ensure employees, students and volunteers are aware of the required training and these procedures
