Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist helps ensure that every workplace first aid kit complies with the legal duties set out in the Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981 and the supporting HSE L74 Guidance. It provides a systematic approach to verify that kits are complete, accessible and maintained.

The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires employers to provide adequate first‑aid provision. The regulations detail the minimum contents, location, accessibility and training requirements for first‑aid kits across all industries. Regular inspection demonstrates compliance, supports risk assessments and reduces the likelihood of injury escalation.

How to use: During each inspection, the responsible person should open the kit, verify each item against the checklist, record the result in the inspection log and replace any missing or expired supplies before signing off. The completed checklist provides evidence for audits and can be stored digitally or in a hard‑copy file near the kit.

Use this checklist for:

Daily or weekly inspections of first aid kits in offices, factories, warehouses, retail outlets and care facilities.
Pre‑use checks before hot‑work, chemical handling or any activity that increases first‑aid needs.
Audits and record‑keeping to demonstrate compliance during health‑and‑safety inspections.

Compliant with: Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981; HSE L74 – Guidance on the Regulations; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?
