First Aid Kit Selection Guide
We receive numerous requests for information about OSHA's first aid requirements in the workplace. Below you will find information to assist employers in understanding their requirements for compliance with this regulation. OSHA regulations for First Aid are different based upon the type of workplace. The information given below is applicable to most workplaces:
29 CFR 1910.151 Medical Services and First Aid
For workplaces other than construction, longshoring, agriculture, & maritime
1910.151(a)
The employer shall ensure the ready availability of medical personnel for advice and consultation on matters of plant health."
1910.151(b)
"In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available."
According to interpretations released by OSHA, they consider near proximity to the workplace to be defined as "medical treatment is obtainable within 3 - 4 minutes." If this near proximity is not available, then adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available. "Adequate" is defined based upon the types of injuries that are common in your particular workplace. If paper cuts are the problem, then have first aid supplies for those, if more serious injuries are the problem or risk, then the the first aid supplies should address those medical needs.
1910.151(c)
"Where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use."
