What should I put in the first-aid box?There is no standard list of items to put in a first-aid box.It depends on what you assess the needs are. However, as a guide, and where there is no special risk in the workplace, a minimum stock of first-aid items would be:

a leaflet giving general guidance on first aid eg HSE leaflet Basic advice on first aid at work 20 individually wrapped sterile adhesive dressings (assorted sizes); two sterile eye pads; Four individually wrapped triangular bandages (preferably sterile); six safety pins; six medium sized (approximately 12 cm x 12 cm) individually wrapped sterile un-medicated

wound dressings; two large (approximately 18 cm x 18 cm) sterile individually wrapped un-medicated wound

dressings; One pair of disposable gloves.

You should not keep tablets or medicines in the first-aid box.The above is a suggested contents list only; equivalent but different items will be considered acceptable.

It is also important to remember that accidents can happen at any time. First-aid provision needs to be available at all times people are at work.
