What should be checked on a first aid kit inspection?

Whether the kit is reachable and unobstructed, whether its seal or tamper indicator is intact, that the contents were checked against your list, that expired items were found and removed, that nothing is damaged or contaminated, and whether restocking was completed. Then the count itself: each item you track, the quantity you want in the kit, and the quantity actually there.

Does this tool tell me what has to be in a first aid kit?

No, and that is deliberate. What a kit must contain depends on your workplace, its hazards, your state and your insurer. This tool ships with an empty list so the contents are the ones you decided on, and the quantities you enter are labelled as your own restock targets everywhere they appear — on the form, on the record and on the restock list.

How do I get a restock list out of it?

Count as you go. Any item where the quantity you counted is below the target you set shows "Restock needed" on the spot, and the printed record carries a restock table grouped by kit showing your target, the count, and how many short — which is the page you take to the supply cupboard.

AddressInspected by

A record of an inspection you carried out against a contents list YOU decided on. The quantities in this tool are your own restock targets, not a required-contents list: what a kit must contain depends on your workplace, your hazards, your state and your insurer. CompliMaint does not publish a required contents list and makes no determination that any kit is adequate or that any facility is compliant.

The kits

The list is yours, and it starts empty

Almost every first aid checklist you can download arrives with a contents list already filled in, and most of those are somebody’s edit of a consensus standard printed without saying so. What a kit must contain depends on your workplace, its hazards, your state and your insurer — and a pre-filled list on a printed inspection record reads as a requirement whatever caption sits above it.

So this one starts empty. You add the items you track, you set the quantity you want in the kit, and every place that number appears it is labelled the same way: Your normal range — you set this. CompliMaint doesn't set targets.

The restock list is the point

Counting is the tedious half of a kit inspection and the half that produces something useful. Anything counted below your target says Restock needed as you type it, and the printed record carries a restock table grouped by kit — your target, the count, and how many short. That is the page that goes to the supply cupboard.

No frequency, again

This tool does not say how often to inspect a kit. That comes from your own programme, your state and your insurer. It records the inspection you carried out on the date you carried it out.

Your kits belong to the building

Kits you enter are kept in your facility’s equipment register, with the contents list attached to the kit rather than to this tool — so the same kit inspected from a phone in the warehouse and from a laptop in the office is one kit with one list. Each building keeps its own; nothing crosses.

The rest of the safety round

The AED inspection log is the other walk on the same afternoon, and the extinguisher log is the third. For the training half of a safety programme, see toolbox talks and training records.
