First Aid Kit
Factors to consider in selecting a kit:
a. The supplies should be consistent with the types of injuries anticipated in the research space (e.g., will there be burns, cuts, fractures, contusions, or allergic reactions?)
b. Its size must be appropriate to the number of people who will be using the kit.
c. The supplies should be provided in single use or dose unit packs with suitable wrapping to ensure sterility and hygiene.
d. The case should be dust and moisture resistant with no sharp edges.
e. Consider convenience and easy access – wall mounted or portable?

As a practical model, the American National Standards Institute’s Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits (ANSI Z308.1-2015) will be used to handle common workplace injuries at Kent State University. If the lab is working with special hazards such as Hydrofluoric Acid (HF), then additional items are required to be in the first aid kit. If you need assistance with First Aid Kit selection, contact the Office of Compliance and Risk Management at 330-672-1977 or 330-672-1950. Minimum Quantity |
