First-Aid Kits for Research Laboratories

Learn how to obtain and restock a laboratory first-aid kit.

EH&S provides first-aid kits and restocks them at no cost to work areas using hazardous materials or generating hazardous waste. First-aid supplies must be readily accessible to staff at all times.

PIs or department representatives are responsible to obtain a first-aid kit and periodically restock and remove expired items. Where special hazards are present additional items may be necessary (e.g., calcium gluconate for hydrofluoric acid, etc.).
