2、merican National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. An American National Standard is intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the consumer, and general public. The existence of an American National Standard does not in any respect preclud

American National Standards are subject to periodic review and users are cautioned to obtain the latest edition. CAUTION NOTIC

4、E: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard no later than five years from the date of publication. Purchasers of American National S

7、.1-2015). The International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA), in conjunction with leading industry stakeholders, developed this standard in 2014, updating and expanding ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2009. A subsequent revision in 2015 corrected a minor technical revision to the 2014 edition. The standard clas

8、sifies first aid kits based on the assortment and quantity of first aid supplies intended to deal with most types of injuries and sudden illnesses encountered in the workplace including: major wounds, minor wounds (cuts and abrasions), minor burns, sprains and strains, and eye injuries. The assortme

9、nt and quantity of supplies included in a first aid kit were chosen based upon a review of increased workplace incidents requiring first aid treatment, similar international standards and current practices in treating injuries. This revision introduces two classes of first aid kits: Class A kits wit

10、h contents designed to deal with most common types of workplace injuries, and Class B kits with a broader range and quantity of supplies to deal with injuries in more complex or high-risk environments. By expanding the items in a basic first aid kit, employees will have greater access to items neede

11、d to treat common workplace injuries. Many of the first aid supplies previously identified as being recommendations in the 2009 standard are now required for both newly-designated kit types. In addition, scissors are to be included in both classes of kits and a splint and a tourniquet are both requi

12、red for a Class B first aid kit. In an effort to emphasize the importance of the contents included in the first aid kit, rather than the configuration in which they are provided, specific requirements for unitized first aid kits have been removed from the 2014 edition. Guidance on color-coding of fi

13、rst aid supplies for these configurations of kits is included in the appendix to provide users and suppliers with an easy reference when identifying and stocking first aid items. In deciding which class of kit is more appropriate for a given workplace, employers should consider the risks and task lo

14、ad of the work environment and the potential severity and likelihood of occurrence of an injury. Employers should also consider whether multiple first aid kits are needed, based on the number of employees, physical layout of the work environment and the remoteness of the worksite to emergency servic

15、es. These same considerations can be taken into account when determining if a first aid kit should be augmented with additional supplies, as noted in the appendix of this standard. Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcome. They should be sent to ISEA, 1901 N. Moore Street, Suite 808,

24、t Aid Kits and Supplies 1. Scope and Purpose 1.1 This standard establishes minimum performance requirements for first aid kits and their supplies that are intended for use in various work environments. Classification of first aid kits, designating the assortment of items and quantity of each item, i

25、s based on the anticipated number of users intended to be served by each first aid kit, as well as the complexity of the work environment and level of hazards. First aid kit containers are classified by portability, ability to be mounted, resistance to water and corrosion and impact resistance. 1.2

26、In this standard, imperial units of measurement are followed by an approximate SI equivalent in parenthesis. In keeping with prevalent measurement and packaging norms for first aid products in the United States, only the imperial value shall be regarded as the requirement. 1.3 Unless otherwise state

27、d, all values for measurement are to be considered nominal. 2.
