The OSHA Medical Services and First Aid regulation, 29 CFR 1901.151 (b) in part, "requires that adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available." The words, "approved by the consulting physician" were removed from this part of the standard several years ago. So what should be in your first aid kits? Appendix A to § 1910.151 First Aid Kits (Non-Mandatory) refers to ANSI Z308.1 -1998 "Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits." This standard was updated by ANSI in 2003, but OSHA has yet to reference it in Appendix A. These are the items you should consider to include in your first aid kits. ANSI Z308.1-2003 Minimum Requirements for Work Place First Aid Kits These items were specifically spelled out in the 1998 update
These were added as recommendations in the update in 2003 Recommended Kit Contents (These items are not necessary but should be considered)
