Guide to First Aid in Places of Work - Health & Safety Authority (HSA)
Different work activities involve different hazards and therefore different first aid provision is required. Some places of work (e.g. offices, libraries etc.) have relatively low hazards whereas others (e.g. factories and construction work etc.) often have a greater degree of hazard or specific hazard involved. Requirements for first aid provision at work will therefore depend on several factors including the size of the workplace, the numbers employed, the hazards arising, access to medical services, dispersal of employees, employees working away from their employer’s premises, workers in isolated locations etc. As a minimum every workplace should have an occupational first aid box or kit. The following table gives a broad indication of the type of first aid materials/equipment and supplies which would be reasonable in different circumstances.

As a minimum, every workplace should have an occupational First Aid Box or Kit. All our Workplace kits are HSA compliant. All HSA Workplace Catering and Travel kits are available in stylish colour coded boxes, with integrated brackets or bags. HSA 2 and 3 Workplace kits can also be purchased in an extra-durable, wall mountable cabinet.
