workplace safety
Step 1 — Select the Right Location
Choose a visible, accessible area close to high-traffic zones. The station should be away from heat and moisture and near staff who are trained in first aid.
Step 2 — Install a Reliable Container
Use a durable, labeled container such as the Empty First Aid Box with Green Cross. Mount it at eye level so it’s easy to access during an emergency.
Step 3 — Stock the Station
- Basic wound care supplies (bandages, gauze)
- Antiseptics and disposable gloves
- Cold packs and splints (if required)
- Emergency contact card and first aid manual
Step 4 — Assign & Train Staff
Designate first aid officers and schedule regular training. Keep a visible list of trained responders near the station and update it after each training session.
Step 5 — Maintain & Audit
Perform quarterly audits, and document each inspection in a maintenance log. Link to the restock guide: How Often Should You Restock a First Aid Kit?.
