First Aid Kits
Under most state and territory legislations all workplaces must have at least one first aid kit
First aid provides the initial and immediate attention to a person suffering an injury or
illness. A quick and competent first aid response can reduce the severity of the injury
or illness and in some cases could mean the difference between life and death.
Employers have legal responsibilities for ensuring adequate first aid provisions for
employees. State and territory government agencies have legislation, codes of
practice or guidelines on first aid issues as part of occupational healthy and safety
(OHS) requirements.
The possible fines and or penalties for non compliance far exceeds the purchase
price for a first aid kit.
The first aid kit contains 100 pieces of hospital grade products. Appropriate for most
places of work with 100 employees or less. Contents exceed (AS2675B) and workplace B.
It also contains a 1m x 1m fire blanket which hangs on a wall.
