OSHA / ANSI Z308.1 First Aid Requirements

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the requirements for first aid kit contents. OSHA, basically requires employers to make "adequate" first aid supplies available to its’ employees. They are not very specific about what first aid items are required, but reference ANSI Z308.1-2003 standards as a general guideline. The ANSI Z308.1 Minimum Standard for Workplace First Aid Kits requires about 8 different first aid items. The eight required items are all useful, but if that’s all you have, you don’t have much of a kit. There are a lot of quality first aid kits and cabinets available, and you should choose what best meets your needs.
