First Aid

Ensure a properly stocked first aid kit is available at the job site.

  • The first aid kit should contain approved supplies in a weatherproof container with individual sealed packages for each type of item.
  • The kit should include rubber gloves to prevent the transfer of infectious diseases.
  • Make provisions to provide quick drenching or flushing of the eyes should any person be working around corrosive materials. Eye flushing must be done with water containing no additives.
  • Check the contents of the kit initially before it is sent out on each job and at least weekly to ensure the expended items are replaced.
