Legislative Obligations
Regarding First Aid Kits For Workplaces In a nutshell, employers have a duty of care to have an appropriate first aid kit in the workplace. Obviously what is appropriate depends on the individual work place. The states have various codes of practice. Codes of practice include lists of recommended items of what may be appropriate. That is, merely a recommended list of items, and not what is actually appropriate, for any given workplace. The Equip Tradesman First Aid Kit contains items as recommended in the Western Australian code of practice requirements for a basic first aid kit for a workplace (exc. torch & paracetamol). Employers are still required to evaluate their workplace and ensure that the first aid kit is appropriate (as no two workplaces are the same). If you require assistance determining what is appropriate for your workplace, please visit http://natindex.nohsc.gov.au (The Australian Occupational Health and Safety Index) for a national index on occupational health and safety.
