Would you be surprised to learn that a first aid kit for a low-risk workplace should include at least 23 specified items?
Additional requirements apply for Remote Workplaces and workplaces where specific injuries and illnesses may occur, particularly in relation to:
- burns;
- eye injuries; and
- chemicals.
If you are undertaking a business, you must comply with your obligations regarding:
- first aid kits;
- first aid personnel;
- first aid rooms (depending on the size of your workforce);
- accident response plans;
- first aid signs;
- record keeping systems; and
- risk management,
or risk fines.
