Although people rarely require a trip to the hospital after being injured in a traditional office setting, there is potential for minor cuts and injuries.
From pesky staples to the paper cutter, there is a serious need and often a requirement for a first aid kit in your workplace, depending on the number of employees who work there.
If your industry is one specified below, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has even more stringent first aid and CPR training requirements:
- Permit-required Confined Spaces
- Logging Operations – First-Aid and CPR Training
- Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution
- Qualifications of Dive Team
- Construction Subpart V, Power Transmission and Distribution
If you just started a small business, a first aid kit that serves 25 people would be a great start. With supplies like gauze, bandages, antiseptic towelettes, latex gloves, scissors, tape and tweezers, you'll be ready for most minor office injuries.
