Whether you run a clinic, a warehouse, or an office, a well-stocked first-aid and PPE program keeps people safe and supports compliance. Building one is about matching supplies to your real risks and keeping them replenished. Here's a practical framework.
Start with a needs assessment
Match your program to your setting — headcount, hazards, and the types of injuries most likely in your environment. A production floor, a medical office, and a break room have different needs. Your local requirements and workplace-safety standards should guide the baseline.
First-aid essentials
- Wound care — bandages, gauze, tape, and antiseptics for common injuries.
- Instruments & extras — scissors, gloves, cold packs, and eyewash where needed.
- Cabinets & kits — clearly marked, accessible, and sized to your headcount.
PPE essentials
Stock the personal protective equipment your tasks demand — gloves, masks, eye protection, and gowns or aprons where exposure is possible. Keep a range of sizes so protection is never compromised by poor fit.
Keep it stocked and current
A first-aid program is only as good as its restocking. Assign responsibility, set par levels, and check expiration dates so kits are ready when they're needed.
Browse first aid & PPE, bandages & dressings, PPE & personal protection, and wound care.
