First Aid Kits in Newcastle

Servicing Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, and the Mid North Coast.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act, every workplace must provide first aid equipment, facilities and trained first aiders, and the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice sets out how that duty is met in practice. Working through this alongside day-to-day operations isn't practical for most businesses, which is where Safe Industries Group comes in. Our fully mobile team supplies, inspects and replenishes first aid kits appropriate to your workplace, servicing clients across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and the Mid North Coast.

The aim of a first aid kit is to preserve life, prevent illness or injury from becoming worse, relieve pain, promote recovery and protect the unconscious, so it's vital yours is kept in excellent condition. Operating since 2014, we can inspect and replenish your existing kit or determine your first aid needs from scratch, including how many trained first aiders your workplace should have.

Call us today on 1800 723 344 and we will arrange one of our teams to meet you on-site.

We source all our first aid kits from recognised and accredited suppliers. Our emphasis is on quality and fit for purpose, followed by value for money. We will always provide the best-fitting product for your application. Our team can assess your premise or worksite and assign a low risk, high risk or remote high risk category first aid kit.

• Low-risk workplaces include retail shops, offices, libraries or art galleries
• High-risk workplaces include factories, motor vehicle workshops or forestry operations
• Remote high-risk workplaces include all-night convenience stores, service stations & long-distance freight transport drivers, heavy industry & mining
• CAMS kits, shooters or hunters kits, marine & shark bite kits

Getting the risk category right starts with a proper site assessment, taking into account the nature of the work, known hazards and worker numbers. By law, all workers must be able to access a first aid kit, kept in an accessible location and close to higher-risk areas, including in work vehicles. Our team will determine these locations for you and also provide general site safety audits.

We can supply and replenish a wide range of first aid kits. Our replenishment service can be applied to any type of first aid kit.

These include:

• Workplace wall-mounted kits
• Portable kits
• Industry kits
• Injury kits
• Kit modules
• Personal kits
• Specialist kits
• Vehicle kits

Each kit is designed specifically for low- or high-risk workplaces in compliance with Safe Work Australia First Aid Code of Practice. If you're unsure what type of kit your workplace requires, don't hesitate to contact Safe Industries Group today. We will keep a detailed record of your kit and its inspections, so you're aware of every update.

Most first aid kits will include items to treat cuts, scratches, punctures, grazes, splinters, muscular sprains and strains, minor burns, amputations and/or major bleeding wounds, broken bones, eye injuries and shock. Depending on the risk scale of your workplace, the kit supplied to you may include different items. For example, high-risk first aid kits may also include items for serious burns, breathing difficulties, puncture wounds, exposure to pathogens or allergic reactions.

The contents of the kit should be immediately identifiable, and the items should be made from materials that will protect the contents from dust, moisture and contamination. If your first aid kit needs an audit, get in touch with Safe Industries Group today.
