In fact, making sure the right supplies are available in the right amount is the first step towards a healthier &amp; safer workplace. Before figuring out how you will be storing first aid supplies, make sure you have assessed your needs. When carrying out an assessment of first aid needs, employers must consider several factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The number of employees and pre-existing medical conditions<\/li>\n<li>Current work-related hazards and risks<\/li>\n<li>Location, size, and design of work areas<\/li>\n<li>Number of visitors and non-employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These points help determine the quantity and type of first aid supplies that should be provided. On top of that, the British Red Cross Society adds several things to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First aid supplies should be easily identifiable with a green box and white cross<\/li>\n<li>Staff members should be aware of the nearest first aid kit<\/li>\n<li>They should be easily accessible<\/li>\n<li>Supplies should be checked regularly for stock and expiry dates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know the kind and quantity of first aid supplies you need, what are your storage options? How big does your storage unit need to be? Do you require more than one unit? This blog post aims to help you in choosing the best storage solution for first aid supplies at work.
