First Aid Kits Requirements

I've been working in a public school classroom in California and have noticed that their first aid kit is not stocked very well (basically has a few band aids, alcohol wipes and a few gloves). I've been looking online to see if I could find what the requirements are as far as first aid kits in classrooms. Or, are they fine as long as the supplies are in the office?

Check with the schools administrator, coordinator, or nurse. California doesn't have a set standard for first aid kits.

I am a member of a church that is set to open in 2 weeks. I am trying to get all the safety requirements in place. Like what kind of first aid kit would be needed and number of fire extinguishers? Also if someone had a medical plan on paper that I could work off of that would be great. I am set to meet with the town fire marshall on tuesday im just trying to get a idea. Thanks and god bless

Good idea is to prepare a Disaster Plan.
Here is an example - http://www.umt.edu/IACUC/policies/PLCYdi sasterplan.htm
Contact professionals - local emergency management office or local American Red Cross Chapter to gather the information you will need to create a plan.

You will essentially need Industrial First Aid Station (something like http://www.ifirstaidkits.com/product_thr ee-shelf-first-aid-station-100-person-p4 1937.html ) and AED. Count and location of fire extinguishers must be calculated by professional only

under workcover and other nsw Acts, what must be done to gain approval to have drugs and medications included in first aid rooms and first aid kits in the workplace.
e.g. asthma puffers, epi pens.
a risk assessment would have to be carried out, as would consultation with staff, a description of the likely hazards to be found in the workplace - dust - allergens.
what else?
I would be most grateful for your responses

You cannot hold drugs of any kind in 1st Aid kits as 1st Aiders are not trained to dispense them, this even includes things like Aspirin.

The only difference is in kits specifically for fully trained paramedics, which general 1st Aiders should have no access to.

I doubt very much that you will be able to have medications such as S3 and S4 in first aid rooms and/or kits.

It's very hard to find somewhere that is even legally allowed to administer an S2 drug to anyone.

Because of the legalities concerning medications being given to persons with allergies to different meds, there isn't a great deal that any business/school etc can have in first aid kits and/or rooms.
