Updated first aid kit standards
Starting January 1, 2027, new standards for first aid kits in institutions and facilities will take effect, aiming to organize and standardize the readiness and provisioning of first aid supplies at work sites. The standards include classifying work locations into low, medium, and high risk based on the nature of the activity, the number of workers, and the level of hazards, with specified minimum supplies and trained first responders for each category. They also emphasize easy access to the contents of the first aid kits, their resistance to water and humidity, and the organization of monthly inspections of the kits and equipment, with immediate replacement of damaged or expired materials. The decision also covers the regulation of ambulance provisioning, the provision of fully equipped first aid rooms at sites where the nature of activity requires them, and enhanced oversight over the proper dispensing and storage of medications, all aimed at improving emergency response capacity and ensuring the readiness of equipment and medical personnel.
