HOW TO DO FIRST AID KIT SERVICING



It is critical that your workplace is fully equipped, prepared and ready to respond to a First Aid event at all times.

This helps go some way to ensuring your workplace is meeting the Code of Practice for First Aid in the workplace. However, it doesn’t stop there. To guarantee your workplace is ready to respond to a First Aid event you must regularly monitor and service your First Aid Kit to ensure your First Aider has the tools required to provide First Aid.
First Aid products expire with time, may have deteriorated or could have been tampered with. Everything in a kit, from gels, sprays Band-Aids, bandages and even gloves, expires eventually. Without a regular servicing system in place, you may be jeopardising your Workplace First Aiders’ ability to provide First Aid in an emergency. If an employee, customer or visitor suffers from an injury onsite and your First Aid kit is not fully stocked with up-to-date and ready to use equipment, the First Aider may struggle to perform basic First Aid such as stemming the flow of blood, applying a sling or stopping the venom from a snakebite quickly spreading throughout the body.

Regular First Aid Kit servicing is simple and can be quick and cost-effective. Don’t let something as easy as this fall to the bottom of your list. Design and implement a service process for your Workplace First Aid Kit to ensure your workplace is ready to respond when the need for First Aid strikes.
REPLENISHING YOUR FIRST AID KIT
Purchasing a First Aid kit for your workplace is the first step to ensuring you are fulfilling your duty of care to your employees, customers and visitors. However, First Aid products can expire, may have been tampered with and of course, need to be replaced after use.

There are two options you can pursue to ensure your workplace First Aid kit is always at the ready – a Kit Servicing Agent or a Self-Service approach.
