A first aid kit supplier for South African workplaces.
As a first aid kit supplier for South African businesses, IHSS provides workplace kits suited to offices, warehouses and industrial environments. When an employee is injured or becomes ill at work, suitable first aid equipment needs to be accessible without delay.
An incomplete kit or expired contents can leave the appointed first aider without the supplies needed for an initial response.
Supporting workplace first aid requirements.
Under South Africa’s General Safety Regulations, an employer with more than five employees at a workplace must provide a first aid box or boxes at or near the workplace. The equipment should be suitable for the type of injuries that could occur.
When selecting first aid kits, employers should consider:
- The number of employees
- Workplace layout and access
- Hazards present
- Likely types of injury
- Employees working across shifts
- Additional emergency equipment
First aid boxes should be placed where they can be reached quickly. A prominent notice must indicate where each box is kept and identify the person responsible for it.
Workplace First Aid Kits for your business.
Regular checks help ensure that the kit remains ready for use. Items that have been used, damaged or have passed their expiry date need to be replaced. Workplaces operating across several floors, departments or risk areas could also require more than one kit.
As a first aid kit supplier, IHSS can provide workplace first aid kits and replacement contents based on the employer’s operating environment. These supplies support the organisation’s emergency procedures and the trained first aid personnel responsible for responding when an incident occurs.
