Haven't gone through my homemade first aid kit in a while and someone asked me to make a video of it.

If it matters, the First-Aid kits will be installed inside plant greehouses where very mild chemicals, fertilizers, and sharp trimming tools are used. Occupancy is about 10 people at a time. (Only well informed answers please)

The OSHA "Best Practices Guide: Fundamentals of a Workplace First-Aid Program" states:

"The supplies must be adequate,should reflect the kinds of injuries that occur, and must be stored in an area where they are readily available for emergency access. An automated external defibrillator (AED) should be considered when selecting first-aid supplies and equipment.

A specific example of the minimal contents of a workplace firstaid
kit is described in American National Standards Institute ANSI
Z308.1 - 2003, Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits.

The kits described are suitable for small businesses. For large
operations, employers should determine how many first-aid kits
are needed, and if it is appropriate to augment the kits with
additional first-aid equipment and supplies.

Employers who have unique or changing first-aid needs should
consider upgrading their first-aid kits. The employer can use the
OSHA 300 log, OSHA 301 reports or other records to identify the
first-aid supply needs of their worksite. Consultation with the localfire and rescue service or emergency medical professionals may be beneficial. By assessing the specific needs of their workplaces, employers can ensure the availability of adequate first-aid supplies. Employers should periodically reassess the demand for these supplies and adjust their inventories."

As a firefighter, I can tell you that while on business inspections when looking for first aid kits, as long as it's visible, all of employees know where it is, it contains things like eye wash and sometime to use as a compress for severe bleeding, we're pretty much happy.

It's the lifethreatening things that are the big issue. As far as bandaids and the like. It's just a matter of conveninence for your employees.

To add to the first answer (everything she said and...): Don't forget triangular bandages! You could also put polysporin (or other antibiotic ointment), antiseptic wipes (or wound saline wash), a few pairs of non latex gloves, if you get really ambitious you could put a SAM splint, a CPR pocket mask (or at the very least a CPR barrier), some instant cold packs etc. There's really no set rules :)

Katie had the right idea.

That's a very good basic first aid kit.

The only thing I would change is scratch the soap.

And alcohol based Antibacterial hand wash is key!!
It's being used now in hospitals as the preferred hand santizing method over soap and water!

Heck... that is something I would tell everyone to carry around with them everyday and use regularily!

It's one major way to combat the super bugs! (MRSA and VRE)
