Under OSHA’s general industry regulations, an employer must train a person (or persons) to provide first aid if
there is no clinic, infirmary or hospital near the workplace. In these situations, employers must also make first-
aid supplies readily available. These supplies are often provided by employers as first-aid kits.
To create first-aid kits, employers must evaluate the hazards present in their workplace and determine what tools
and supplies their employees will most likely need to provide first aid. OSHA offers employers two guidelines for
building a first-aid kit:
This document presents the minimum requirements for workplace first-aid kits and supplies as outlined in the
current OSHA regulations. Although these regulations reference the 1998 ANSI standard, employers should know
that ANSI has updated this standard multiple times, most recently in 2015.
