Provide First aid Kits
2.12
Employers should ensure that each workplace has at least one first aid kit that meets the minimum requirements as detailed in 2.11 unless 2.17 applies. (see below)
2.13
With reference to the three groups detailed in 2.11 employers should provide the following number of first aid kits.
Group A a) any workplace other than a high risk workplace - at least one kit provided for the first 50 employees; 2 kits for 100 and one additional kit for every 100 employees thereafter; or
b) high-risk workplace - at least one kit provided for the first 25 employees and one (1) additional kit for every 50 employees thereafter.
Group B, C a) at least one kit is to be provided for employees.
2.15
Employer should ensure that all first aid kits and the contents purchased for the workplace are included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as administered by the Therapeutic Goods Association.
Note:
The kits pictured above comply in every way (including 2.15 and required products and specifications) to guarantee your OH&S First Aid Compliance under the act.
2.17
Employers should consider providing personal protection packs for employees where the work activities and tasks are conducted away from the regular place of work and carrying a first aid kit is impractical. This can include employees who perform duties on foot, bicycles, in open or remote environments and whenever they do not have ready access to a first aid kit.
Note: Vehicles, small vessels, ships and aircraft are considered premises under the act and are therefore a workplace.
