What should a first-aid box in the workplace contain?

The decision on what to provide will be influenced by the findings of the first-aid needs assessment. As a guide, where work activities involve low hazards, a minimum stock of first-aid items might be:

• A leaflet giving general guidance on first aid
• Individually wrapped sterile plasters (assorted sizes), appropriate to the type of work (for example hypoallergenic plasters should be provided if necessary)
• Sterile eye pads
• Individually wrapped triangular bandages, preferably sterile
• Safety pins
• Large sterile individually wrapped unmedicated wound dressings
• Medium-sized sterile individually wrapped unmedicated wound dressings
• Disposable gloves

How often should the contents of first-aid boxes be replaced?

Although there is no specified review timetable, many items, particularly sterile ones, are marked with expiry dates. They should be replaced by the dates given and expired items disposed of safely. In cases where sterile items have no dates, it would be advisable to check with the manufacturers to find out how long they can be kept. For non-sterile items without dates, it is a matter of judgement, based on whether they are fit for purpose.
