First Aid Kit Inspection Checklist
- Verify that appropriate signage is in place and visible.
- Verify that a first aid attendants' list and the name of the person responsible for maintaining the first aid kit are posted in close proximity.
- Verify that the first aid kit and other first aid equipment are easily accessible at all times.
- Verify that the contents are only items approved for the identified kit and do not contain any type of medication. Please refer to the next page for the first aid kit contents checklist.
- Verify that kits have a sufficient quantity of clean and usable supplies and those items are not expired. Items that do not have an expiry date should be inspected to ensure that they are still in good condition (i.e., not visibly damaged, discoloured, or otherwise compromised).
- Sign and date the verification chart after every inspection.
