First aid kit for medical office: composition, storage rules

If you think that office workers do not lie in wait for health problems, you are mistaken. Yes, the work is not dusty, yes, there are no strong physical activities. But a long sitting at the table or behind the monitor also leaves a mark on the well-being. And to this can add accidents, falls, bruises, minor ailments and other problems and problems. From this it can be concluded that the first-aid kit is not a whim and no quibbling of the checking bodies. It must necessarily be available, even if there are only a few people in the team.

Rules of first-aid kit storage

The Labor Code assigns to each employee the right to labor protection. Every employer is responsible for meeting the requirements of the code. That is, the employer is obliged to provide the staff of the office with means of rendering medical assistance.

The first-aid kit must be stored in a certain place. All drugs must have labels or be signed. Particular attention is paid to the shelf-life of medicines, since an overdue product may aggravate the condition of the victim. For the timely replenishment of expended funds and control of the expiration dates of their suitability, the employee of the office responsible for labor protection is responsible. Remember that the first-aid kit (office) can be checked by the controlling employees of the State Labor Inspectorate.

Basic document

In March 2011, the Ministry of Health Development of the Russian Federation issued an order "On Approval of Requirements for the Packaging of First Aid Kit for the First Aid to Workers". The order number is 169n. In accordance with this document, the number of drugs in the kit and the regulatory documents (GOSTs) on them have been established. The first-aid kit for medical office is compulsorily completed with products that have been registered on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In addition to medical products, they must also include pictograms explaining the rules for first aid to unqualified employees.

What should be in the composition

The first-aid kit, the composition of which is regulated in accordance with TU U 24.4-19246991-012-2001, should include:

• A set of necessary tools to stop bleeding and bandage the injured person in the trauma (these are unsterile and sterile bandages, cotton wool, plaster, tourniquet to stop bleeding);
• Antiseptics and disinfectants (zelenka or iodine, hydrogen peroxide);
• Drugs that relieve pain (Analgin, Ketanov, Ibuprofen, Tsitromon, Tempalgin);
• Anti-inflammatory drugs (Streprocid, Septefril, Naftizin);
• Drugs that reduce body temperature ("Paracetomol", "Aspirin");
• Antispasmodics ("No-shpa", "Drotaverin", "Spazmalgon");
• Cardiological preparations ("Validol", "Corvalol");
• Soothing agents (tincture or valerian pills);
• Enterosorbents (activated carbon);
• Antimicrobials for the intestine ("Ftalazol", "Levomycitin");
• Means for lowering pressure ("Raunatin");
• Drugs that improve digestion ("Pancreatin");
• Cholagogue (Allochol).

The kit should include medical gloves, a thermometer, an artificial respiration device, scissors, a reference book and a list of attachments.

All of the above should be packaged in a soft or hard case. For convenience of use, the first aid kit can be placed in a wall cabinet.

It is important!

To properly arrange for the inspection bodies the first-aid kit, it is necessary to form a small package of documents. First of all, it is necessary to issue an order to appoint a responsible employee, whose duties include the purchase of a corresponding set of medical devices, their storage and use. In the same document, the composition and place where the first-aid kit is located will be approved. The order must specify the order of use and the method of monitoring the contents of the first-aid kit.

The next stage is registration of the registration log, in which cases of use of drugs will be recorded and marks will be placed on their verification and replacement (replenishment). All entries in the journal are made under the signature of the responsible person.

Separately, the instruction for providing first aid should be developed and approved and the phone numbers of the medical point and emergency call are indicated.
