Workplace Health & Safety

Your Guide to Self-Managed Workplace First Aid and ANSI Compliance

This collection covers how to build, stock, and maintain a workplace first aid program you run yourself, without depending on a route-based van service. You'll find practical guidance for HR, safety, and facilities teams: what a compliant cabinet should contain, how to audit and restock it, and how to meet ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class A and Class B requirements alongside OSHA's first aid standard, 29 CFR 1910.151.

Many organizations default to a route-based provider such as Aramark first aid services to keep cabinets stocked. The articles here lay out the self-managed alternative: ordering supplies direct, running a quick monthly audit, and restocking with a Complete Refill Pack so the program stays compliant without recurring service fees. Teams starting from scratch can build a custom solution with the Make-A-Kit tool or stock up on industrial first aid kits.
