Ryan Safety Services - First Aid Kits
First Aid Kits
Many common safety concerns, while they may not be life-threatening, are still harmful to the work environment. Whether it's a sprained limb, a laceration, a contusion or work-site debris that's flown into the eyes, Ryan Safety Services will equip your office with the first aid supplies and a cabinet designed to remedy any office mishap. Per the American National Standard Institute, first aid kits are divided into three categories:
- Type I – Intended general indoor environments such as offices and manufacturing facilities where the environment is static and controlled.
- Type II – Designed for changing indoor environments under controlled conditions.
- Type III – Created for the mobility of the outdoors and mobile industries. The kit must be durable, moisture-resistant and corrosion proof.
