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/lSEAZ3O8.12003, 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,
[email protected]. 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.

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 workplacespecific 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.

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.

First aid kits should be regularly i ensure completeness, condition of and expiration dates to maintain with this latex standard. Supplies shall be natural ration free. Any supply beyond its marked date should be removed from the kit and replaced. Additional quantities should to be added as needed to address the hazdrds of a particular work environment.
