First Aid Kit Policy

The Ohio State University And Medical Center Employee Health Service
Policy G-15: Workplace First Aid
Developed by: Office of Environmental Health & Safety and Employee Health

On -site first aid kits should contain supplies that allow individuals to treat themselves. Examples:

The most important first aid procedure for minor cuts and abrasions is to "clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water". This statement should be written or posted on the front of the kit.

Reasons for keeping First Aid Kits simple are:

Medications, such as decongestants, analgesics, and antihistamines, are not emergency supplies.

Advanced first-aid equipment should be supplied only when personnel are trained in their use and are available..

John V. Gaeuman, M.D., Medical Director, Employee Health


Revised 11-00

 

 

Chemical Laboratory First Aid Kit--Contents

These items should be packaged with directions for use and the kit should be inventoried and updated every six months.
