    This document provides recommendations for the contents of occupational first aid boxes and kits depending on the number of persons employed. It lists various first aid materials that should be included such as adhesive plasters, sterile eye pads, triangular bandages, sterile wound dressings of different sizes, disinfectant wipes, gloves, shears, and burns dressings. It also notes that sterile water should be provided for eye irrigation where tap water is unavailable and that water-based burns dressings should be included where tap water is not available for cooling burnt areas.

    Notes:
    *1: Where more than 50 persons are employed, pro rata provision should be made.
    *2: Where mains tap water is not readily available for eye irrigation, sterile water or sterile normal saline (0.9%) in sealed
    disposable containers should be provided. Each container should hold at least 20 ml and should be discarded once the seal
    is broken. Eye bath/eye cups/refillable containers should not be used for eye irrigation due to risk of cross-infection. The
    container should be CE marked.
    *3: Where mains tap water is not readily available for cooling the burnt area.
