When Is A Business Required To Have A First Aid Kit?

I'm looking more on the "how large does it have to be" side of the question. 5, 10, 25, 50 employees?

A business, not matter what the size, is required to have a first aid kit. This is an OSHA regulation.

Contact the American Red Cross for information on the size of the first aid kit and schedule your office for classes on emergency First Aid and CPR. Anyone can save a life if they know what to do.

Just having a run of the mill first aid kit will do, its not required because you are not in manufacturing or something that is harmful to your employees on a daily basis. Sam's Club sells a great first aid kit that is OSHA approved and it has EVERYTHING you could need for an office.

I believe that it is a requirement in any business. I know in the truck stops with only about 12 employees, we were required to have one. Also when I was working driving vacuum trucks, we were required to have them. This was in Utah and Nevada, but I believe it is a requirement any where. When I had my own cleaning business of only 3 people, I had to have one, too.

At my office we are on a larger scale approx. 120 in building employees and in HR (Human Resources) they have a fairly large kit. Its in the closet and they just tripled everything. Gauze, bandaids, ice packs etc. I'm sure in our warehouse they also have an additional kit. And in our Administration wing we have an electronic defibrillator for heart attacks and such. I would get a standard kit regardless of emp. # and just stock up on the things you will use most often.. ie, bandaids, gauze, alcohol swabs etc.

Every business must have one. The size you need depends on how many employess. When purchasing one, look on the package. It shoud say for how many people.
