First, you conduct a first-aid needs assessment. Then you can use the results to decide what first aid equipment you should provide in the workplace. The minimum requirement is a properly stocked first aid kit. The evaluation may show the need for additional materials and equipment like scissors, hypoallergenic micro-porous adhesive tape, disposable aprons, and individually wrapped wet wipes. You can put them in the first-aid kit or store them separately. Check if tap water is available for eyewash. At least one liter of sterile water or sterile saline (0.9%) should be in the workplace in sealed disposable containers. If you see a broken seal, you cannot store the containers for reuse. The workers should not use containers after the expiration date.
