Standard
An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially
concerned with its scope and provisions. An American National Standard
is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and general
public. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any
respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standard or not,
from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes,
or procedures not conforming to the standard. American National
Standards are subject to periodic review and users are cautioned to obtain
the latest edition.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or
withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National
Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or
withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of publication.
Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current
information on all standards by calling or writing the American National
Standards lnstitute.

Foreword
(This Foreword is not part of American National Standard ANSI/ISEA 2308.1-2009).
leading industry stakeholders, has developed this standard, updating and expanding ANSI/lSEAZ3O8.1-
2003, to provide guidance for minimum performance levels of first aid kits for all types of uses qnd
situations in the work environment. Member companies of the ISEA Industrial First Aid Group ihclude:
ARl, 3M Company, MSA and North by Honeywell.
Kits in compliance with this standard will provide a basic range of products to deal with most types of
injuries encountered in the workplace. The assortment of required contents was developed bafed on
treatment for the following potential injuries: major wounds, minor wounds (cuts and abrasions), minor
burns and eye injuries. Significant updates incorporated into this version include the designation of new
kit types and expansion of the required supply list to include a first aid guide. The recommendQd supplies
list has been expanded to include hand sanitizers in response to updated hygiene protocols anp provide
additional volume of eye/face wash. The kit label has been redesigned to draw specific attenti{n to fact
that each workplace is unique and, as such, may necessitate the availability of additional first
{id
supplies.
Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to ISEA, 19q1 N. Moore
Street, Suite 808, Arlington, VA 22209, isea@safetyequioment.org.
This standard was processed and approved using consensus procedures prescribed by the
National Standards Institute. The following organizations were contacted prior to the approval
standard. Inclusion in this list does not necessarily imply that the organization concurred with
submiftal of the proposed standard to ANSI.

Workplace First Aid Kits and Supp
American National Standard
Minimum Requirements for
1. Scope and Purpose
This standard establishes minimum
performance
requirements for first aid kits and their supplies
that are intended for use in various work
environments. Because each work environment
is unique, it is expected that the required
products will be supplemented with additional
supplies and quantities based upon the
consultation and recommendation of a person
competent in first aid and cognizant of the
hazards found in the particular work
environment and upon the number of persons
who may need first aid at one time. Persons
determining the content of first aid kits should
additionally consult federal, state and local
requirements regarding the types and quantities
of material to be included.
2. Compliance
To be in compliance with this standard, first aid
kits must contain the required supplies of
Section 6.1 and meet all other applicable
requirements in their entirety. This standard
anticipates that additional first aid supplies will
be included to augment the kit, based upon the
specific hazards existing in a particular work
environment. The inclusion of workplace-
specific first aid supplies does not, in and of
itself, place a first aid kit outside the purview of
this standard. A first aid kit containing a
recommended supply that is specifically
addressed by this standard must comply with
the minimum performance criteria established
for such supplies under Section 6.2.
The choice of first aid supplies should be made
by a person competent in first aid and cognizant
of the hazards found in the particular work
environment.
All labeling and marking reguirements of this
standard represent the manufacturer's
declaration of compliance with this standard.
The accuracy of the claim is therefore solely the
responsibility of the party marking the product.
All labeling and markings shall be legible and
permanent. Where adhesive labels are used
they shall not be easily removed.
Bandage. A strip of material used tolcover a
wound or hold a compress in place.

damage of klt supplies due to environmental
factors and rpugh handling is minimal. Type I
first aid kits shall have a means for mounting in
a fixed and are generally not intended to
be oortable.
NOTE: T applications for Type | first aid kits
may include, are not limited to, the following:

damage of
factors and
supplies due to environmental
handling is minimal.
NOTE; applications for Type ll first aid kits
may include, are not limited to, the following:
general use, an office setting or a
facility.

and shall have a water
resistant seal.
Note: Typical applications for Type lll first aid kits
may include general indoor use and sheltered outdoor
use.
4.5 Type lV
Type lV first aid kits are intended for portable
use in the mobile industries and/or outdoor
seftings where the potential for damage to kit
supplies due to environmental factors and rough

means to be mounted in a fixed position.
NOTE: Typical applications for Type lV first aid kits
may include, but are not limited to, the following: the
transportation industry, the utility industry, the

5.1 Corrosion and Moisture Resistance
After being subjected to the corrosion test as
specified in Section 5.1.1, the kits shall not be
difficult to open or show evidence of moisture on
the inside.
Corrosion and Moisture Resistance

be carefully blotted dry and the container shall
be opened. Each sample shall be evaluated for
ease of operation. The interior of the kit
container shall be examined for evidence of
moisture. Difficult operation or any evidence of
moisture is sufficient cause for failure.
5.2 lmpact Resistance
After being conditioned and subjected to the
drop test as specified in Section 5.2.'1
,
the kits
shall not open or be rendered difficult to open. lf
any of the three test samples cannot be opened
easily after impact or opens as a result of
impact, the kit fails the test.
5.2.1 Drop Test
The purpose of the drop test is to ensure that
the first aid supplies remain in the container.
Test sample shall consist of a first aid container
loaded with the appropriate weight as noted
below:
.
1 lb for'10 unit container
.
1.5lb for 16 unit container
.
2 lb for 24 unit container
.
2.5 lb for 36 unit container.
Three samples shall be conditioned hot at 120'F
(49'C) for a minimum of 2 hours, and three
samples shall be conditioned cold at 0'F (-18'C)
for a minimum of 2 hours.
Each conditioned sample shall be subjected to
the following drop test within 1.0 minute of
removal from the conditioning environment.
Each sample shall be dropped freely from a
vertical height of 48 in. (120 cm), as measured
from the bottom of the kit sample, onto a hard
flat rigid surface such as concrete or a surface of
equivalent hardness. Each sample shall be
dropped once, each on a different corner of the
case. For first aid kits that do not have corners,
each sample shall be dropped on a different
location. The kits shall be examined after impact
to determine if the kit is opened or is capable of
being opened.
