First aid kits should reflect the hazards and size of the workplace and be inspected regularly.

The right kit depends on the hazards you carry, how many people are on site, how spread out they are and how far you are from help. The free First Aid Check turns that into a specific kit recommendation for your workplace, based on current regulations, best practice and your ACC industry risk category.
Common misconceptions
Many businesses assume every workplace has identical requirements. In reality, first aid arrangements should reflect the risks and circumstances of each workplace.
See exactly what your workplace needs
The surest way to get this right is a proper assessment of your own site. First Aid Check’s free assessment is built on current NZ first aid regulations, best-practice first-aider ratios and ACC industry risk categories — so your result reflects the rules and your real risk, not a generic rule of thumb. A few minutes gives you a personalised report you can act on.
