First Aid Kits in the Workplace
Regular inspections of first aid kits should be done to ensure they are accessible and supplied when accidents occur. You should follow these steps when maintaining first aid kits in the workplace:
- Place your first aid kits at a suitable location which is visible and accessible to employees
