What should a first aid kit inspection include?
A practical inspection should document the kit location, accessibility, container condition, inventory status, expiration dates, missing or damaged supplies, corrective actions, responsible persons, and the next inspection date.
How often should workplace first aid kits be inspected?
Inspection frequency should reflect workplace hazards, supply usage, manufacturer guidance, employer procedures, and applicable requirements. Many employers use a recurring monthly review and inspect again after supplies are used.
Should expired first aid supplies be replaced?
Expired, opened, contaminated, damaged, or depleted supplies should be evaluated and replaced promptly according to manufacturer instructions and the employer's first aid program.
Does this checklist guarantee OSHA compliance?
No. This generator is a documentation aid. Employers must evaluate workplace hazards and follow applicable OSHA requirements, recognized standards, medical guidance, manufacturer instructions, and company procedures.
