Learn how to carry out monthly first aid kit checks, build first aid management into your health and safety system with Pilla, and use AI to automate the process.
Join Liam Jones, founder of Pilla and a qualified food safety consultant, for a session on monthly first aid kit inspections.
Understand
First aid kits sit quietly until someone needs them. When that moment comes, whether a cut, a burn or an eye injury, the kit needs to be complete, accessible and ready. Items get used and not replaced, sterile supplies expire, and kits get moved or buried behind stock.
Sterile dressings and other items expire because sterility degrades over time. Using expired sterile supplies can introduce bacteria and cause infection. Check expiry dates on all sterile items, burn gels and gloves every month, and do not just count items but verify they are still in date. In food handling environments, plasters must be blue and ideally metal-detectable, since standard flesh-coloured plasters are not appropriate because they are invisible if they fall into food.
Environments with elevated burn risk should have burn gel and burn dressings readily available alongside standard contents. Stock levels of plasters and gloves may need to be higher than standard office kit recommendations for busy workplaces. Monthly checks are for formal verification, but restocking should happen immediately after significant use rather than waiting for the next scheduled check.
