ANSI/ISEA Workplace First Aid Kit Standard expands supplies, establishes two classes of kits
The International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) received American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approval for ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2015, American National Standard-Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits and Supplies, a subsequent revision to the 2014 edition.
This standard was prepared by members of ISEA’s First Aid Group and leading industry stakeholders and was approved by a consensus review panel of health and safety experts, unions, construction industry and other user groups, test labs, and government agencies. The 2015 revision corrects a minor measurement conversion error in the 2014 edition, with respect to the U.S. measurement for minimum application for antibiotic and antiseptic supplies. The 2015 revision replaces the 2014 edition; therefore, the effective date of this standard is June 2016.
