A first aid kit (acc. StVZO , DIN ) or first aid kit , colloquially first aid box or Red Cross box , in Austria - if verlastet on motor vehicle - first aid kit is a box of bandages and other equipment for first aid .

In many countries, there are legally regulated minimum standards for carrying first aid kits on the road and for keeping first aid material available in companies as part of occupational safety . This is why first-aid kits are the most common in these areas. However, the regulations can differ greatly from country to country (for details, see the relevant sections).

General

First-aid boxes can mean both movable containers, which are usually made of plastic or metal, and immovable boxes or containers that contain bandage material. So that immovable first aid boxes can be found quickly by everyone, their respective locations are usually marked sufficiently large and easily recognizable. The standard symbol for such a first aid location is a white cross on a green background (see Fig. 1). It is defined in the EC Directive 92/58 / EEC or in the ISO standard ISO 3864 . The use of the Red Cross as a symbol is not officially permitted for general use. The Swiss cross is sometimes used, especially in the USA .

First aid kits usually contain not only first aid material in the narrower sense ( gauze bandages , wound pads , triangular towels , adhesive plasters, etc.), but also other material for providing first aid such as ventilation masks , tweezers and disposable gloves . It makes sense to have a table of contents and first aid instructions for the layperson. This equipment is usually sufficient for everyday first aid, in emergencies the rescue service has much more extensive equipment anyway (see emergency case ). In some parts of the world that harbor special potential hazards and where, in contrast to Europe, there is no area-wide rescue service, one or the other additional equipment for first aid can be advantageous.

Used material must be disposed of and replaced after use. Unused material must also be checked regularly. The sterile materials ( compresses , first- aid packs and bandages ) in a first- aid kit have an expiry date . Adhesive plasters and first aid bandages become unusable over time, as the adhesive loses its adhesive strength due to aging, favored by high temperatures. The disposable gloves may also become porous over time if they are made of natural latex. Material that has become unusable must therefore be replaced.

First-aid kits can also be sealed so that you can quickly determine whether they are complete or whether material has been removed. As a rule, the date of the last usability check by the responsible person is also noted.

Correct handling of bandages should be learned and practiced in a first aid course.

Germany

Motor vehicles

First aid kit for cars

The obligation to carry a first aid kit in the vehicle is regulated in § 35h of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO). The term first aid material is used here. Exceptions are also listed in the regulation. B. For motorcycles (motorcycles), in contrast to other EU countries, there is no obligation to carry.

The content of the vehicle first aid kit is specified in DIN 13164 First Aid Material - First Aid Kit B. This was adjusted as of January 2014. The products contained vary slightly in type and quantity. The contents of the vehicle first-aid kit were determined by the "Medicine" standards committee at DIN, the German Institute for Standardization. V. adapted according to the latest medical knowledge. This standard says nothing about the expiry date, which is only derived from § 7 paragraph 1 of the Medical Devices Act (MPG) in conjunction with the requirements of Annex I of the Council Directive 93/42 / EEC of June 14, 1993 on medical devices (OJ L 169 of July 12, 1993, p. 1), which was last amended by Article 2 of Directive 2007/47 / EC (OJ L 247 of September 21, 2007, p. 21), in the currently applicable version. Therefore, warnings due to expired first aid kits are legally disputed.

Should expired (sterile) content parts in a privately used vehicle first-aid kit have been properly replaced, the date on the outer cover would be irrelevant because all other (non-sterile) content parts, e.g. B. the scissors, may continue to be used if they are fit for use. The result of private use is not the question of whether the expiry date of the first-aid kit, but whether the expiry date of individual parts of the contents has expired. It is questionable whether the police will check the latter.

If a vehicle first-aid kit (truck) is used commercially, the owner of the vehicle is also obliged to replace it. As the commercial “operator” of the first-aid kit, this is the addressee of the Medical Devices Act.

In buses and coaches (KOM) not only the contents of the first-aid kit must comply with DIN 13164, but also the box itself. In other motor vehicles, the type of storage container for the first-aid material is not prescribed. There are also first-aid kits in the form of pillows or boxes specially adapted to the vehicle.

The non entraining the "First-aid material" has, if necessary, a warning money in the amount of 5 to 25 € result (control sets).

Osh

In the commercial sector, first-aid kits in different designs are used, depending on the type and size of the company. This is prescribed by the Ordinance on Workplaces (ArbStättV) and the Accident Prevention Regulation Principles of Prevention or DGUV Regulation 1 (renaming of the previous BGV A1 on May 1, 2014), the filling is regulated by the standard sheets' First Aid Material - First Aid Kit C DIN 13157 and 'First aid material - first aid kit E DIN 13169. In company first aid kits, sterile materials must be replaced after the expiry date (DGUV Information 204-022, replaces BGI 509 on May 1, 2014).

The number of first-aid kits required in a company depends primarily on the type of company, the size of the company and the size of the first-aid kits used. A first aid kit according to DIN 13169 can in principle be replaced by two smaller first aid kits according to DIN 13157 due to the filling ratio. For details on the minimum numbers, see the comparison table:

Number of first-aid boxes according to DIN 13157 ("small first-aid box"), DIN 13169 ("large first-aid box")
Type of establishment Number of first-aid boxes with filling according to DIN
DIN 13157 DIN 13169 DIN 13169
construction sites one to 10 insured persons one for 11 to 50 insured persons one more for every 50 more insured persons
Manufacturing and processing plants one to 20 insured persons one for 21 to 100 insured persons one more for every 100 more insured persons
Administrative and commercial operations one to 50 insured persons one for 51 to 300 insured persons one more for every 300 more insured persons
other establishments one - -

Fillings

The prescribed fillings of the first-aid kits in the automotive sector are largely the same as those in the operational sector. Of particular importance is the table of contents, in which the filling is printed in full and according to which the first-aid kit is to be (re) filled.

The fillings specified in DIN 13157 for companies include everything that is also available in the vehicle first-aid kit according to DIN 13164, but there are also fingertip bandages, finger bandages 120 mm × 20 mm, plaster strips, eye compresses, instant cold compress, non-woven cloth and foil bags required. The first aid kits according to DIN 13169, which are also suitable for businesses, differ from those of DIN 13157 only in that they contain twice the amount of consumables (except for scissors, first aid brochure and table of contents).

Area of ​​application DIN 13157 (65 pieces)

This standard applies to first-aid kits that are intended for use in administrative and commercial establishments for up to 50 people, in manufacturing and processing plants for up to 20 people and on construction sites for up to 10 people. This standard also applies to use in schools and kindergartens. The first aid kit should enable professional first aid at the scene of the accident.

Area of ​​application DIN 13169 (127 pieces)

This standard applies to first-aid kits that are intended for use in administrative and commercial establishments from 51 people, in manufacturing and processing companies from 21 people and on construction sites from 11 people. The first aid kit should enable professional first aid at the scene of the accident.

Area of ​​application DIN 13167

Although there is no obligation in Germany to take a first aid kit with you in motorcycles , there is a standard that specifically defines “first aid material for motorcycles”. The content is significantly smaller and therefore more space-saving than the first-aid kit for cars. Furthermore, no fixed box is required, which means that the packaging in a dirt and moisture-proof fabric sleeve also complies with the standard.

Area of ​​application DIN 14142

For fire brigades, there is another standard for a 132-part first-aid kit, DIN 14142.

Area of ​​application DIN 14143

The medical kit according to DIN 14143 contained various aids for first aid as well as devices for shock control, for suctioning the airways and for long-term ventilation. This advanced equipment was intended for use by trained medical personnel. The first aid kit belonged to the loading of fire fighting vehicles 16 and rescue vehicles . Since the standard was withdrawn, other first-aid kits or emergency cases have been used instead .

Area of ​​application DIN 13160

This standard regulates the filling of medical bags or medical shoulder bags (according to BBK ) primarily for use in disaster control (KatS), but has since been withdrawn without replacement. However, the BBK's equipment list still applies.

Kindergartens and schools must carry first aid equipment with them outside of the sports hall during hikes, excursions, study trips, winter sports events, and sports events. In the absence of another standard to which reference can be made, the use of the medical shoulder bag according to DIN 13160 is sometimes still recommended as a possibility by the accident insurance institutions. However, the contents of the medical shoulder bag were not designed for use by first aiders. More recent publications have their own recommendations.

Labelling

A first aid kit according to DIN may have the escape sign "white cross on green background" printed on it.

In addition, the respective DIN may be printed, there are two versions provided by law:

  1. A first-aid kit must meet certain basic requirements (watertightness, break resistance, ...), but an exact size or type is not prescribed. However, if a first-aid kit according to DIN 13157 has the dimensions 25.5 × 16.6 × 8 cm or according to DIN 13169 the dimensions 35 × 25.5 × 10 cm, the marking of the box may be: DIN 13157-C or DIN 13169-E.
  2. All other containers may have "Contents DIN ..." (13157, 13169, ...) printed on them.

Further labeling options when meeting the respective DIN are:

  • Printing of the DIN association symbol
  • Manufacturer name or logo
  • Further information is allowed

Motor vehicles

General information

In § 102 Abs. 10 Kraftfahrgesetz (KFG) is for motor vehicles (including two-wheelers) only

"... bandages that are suitable for wound care, packaged in a robust container, dust-proof and protected against contamination ..." are mandatory. First aid packets with the imprint “Corresponds to KFG § 102” are therefore often only very scarce and not very helpful in an emergency. Most of the time, the simplest but very important materials such as disposable gloves or ventilation aids are missing in these first aid packs. Dressing packs in accordance with ÖNORM V 5100 or V 5101 are better equipped. Packs in accordance with DIN 13164 are also available.

Fillings

A distinction must be made between ÖNORM V 5100 for single-lane vehicles and ÖNORM V 5101 for multi-lane vehicles. Since more people can be transported in a multi-lane motor vehicle than in a single-lane vehicle, ÖNORM V 5101 has correspondingly larger fill quantities. For details, see comparison table:

Worker protection

In Austria, according to the Employee Protection Act (ASchG) , employers are obliged to ensure that employees can be given appropriate first aid in the event of injuries or sudden illness. This includes, in particular, the provision of adequate first aid resources. According to § 26 ASchG and § 39 of the Workplace Ordinance (AStV), the means must be in dust-tight containers, hygienically perfect, usable at all times, easily accessible and well labeled. In addition, there must be instructions on first aid services in the immediate vicinity.

According to the Austrian Labor Inspectorate responsible for employee protection, the minimum content of those resources for first aid must meet the requirements of ÖNORM Z 1020. The relevant regulations not only apply to workplaces and construction sites, but also to external workplaces based on Section 81 of the General Employee Protection Ordinance (AAV).

Minimum numbers

ÖNORM Z 1020 distinguishes between two types of first-aid kits, which are dimensioned differently:

  • Type 1 - permitted for work areas with up to 5 employees
  • Type 2 - permitted for work areas with up to 20 employees.

If there are more than 20 employees, a sufficient number of easily accessible first aid kits must be placed according to the working conditions.

Fillings

The first-aid kits of type 1 and type 2 are equipped with the same material. However, the type 2 first-aid kit, because it is approved for more employees, has a larger number of consumables. For details, see comparison table:

Switzerland

Motor vehicles

In Switzerland, drivers are not legally obliged to carry first aid kits or other first aid material. The Road Traffic Act (SVG) only stipulates that as a participant in accidents with personal injury, help must be provided, as well as bystanders as far as this is reasonable.

The decision about the acquisition and carrying of a first aid kit is therefore left to the individual. There do not seem to be any non-binding recommendations from the larger Swiss automobile and traffic clubs for the minimum equipping of suitable first-aid kits.

If you want to acquire adequately equipped dressing material for your own vehicle, the most expedient is to get a first aid kit according to DIN 13164. Products that conform to this standard are also sold in Switzerland and are labeled accordingly.

Osh

In Switzerland, the legal framework for first aid kits in the company result indirectly from Article 36 of Ordinance 3 of the Labor Law (ArGV3), which defines the framework for company first aid. The first paragraph says:

“For first aid, the necessary resources must always be available, depending on the operational hazards, the size and the local location of the company. The first aid kit must be easily accessible and kept wherever the working conditions require it. "

Furthermore, it is stipulated that, if necessary, medical rooms are to be set up and clearly marked for this purpose. These rather abstract requirements are formulated more practically and more precisely in a guide to ordinances 3 and 4 of the Labor Act by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The Federal Coordination Commission for Occupational Safety (EKAS) can also serve as a further practice-oriented source of information for first aid in the company .

Minimum numbers

According to the SECO guidelines, at least one single first aid kit must be kept available in small businesses concentrated in one place “without any particular risk”. In larger companies, a strategically favorable distribution over several buildings or floors must be taken into account. In the case of larger companies “with particular dangers”, separate first aid rooms must be set up, each equipped with first aid material. The following minimum numbers are specified for first-aid rooms: In companies with no particular risks, at least one from 250 employees must be set up in the same building, in the case of an increased risk potential, at least one from 100 employees.

Fillings

According to the SECO guidelines, the dimensioning and composition of the first aid material and thus the first aid kit must be based on the hazards present in the company. It is stated that in smaller businesses without any particular dangers, a first aid kit equipped with disinfectant and bandages is usually sufficient, whereby it is recommended to seek the advice of a doctor or pharmacist for more precise features. Medicines must in any case be stored separately and not freely accessible, as they may only be administered by persons authorized according to the therapeutic products legislation.

Norway

First aid kits are not required for motor vehicles in Norway.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom (UK) differs greatly from the German-speaking countries when it comes to regulations for first-aid kits.

Motor vehicles

In Great Britain, in contrast to most European countries, there is no obligation whatsoever for citizens to carry first aid kits or other safety equipment such as safety vests , breakdown triangles or fire extinguishers . British tourists therefore face severe penalties for traffic checks or in the event of an accident abroad if they do not take precautions on their own. This problem can be remedied by purchasing European Travel Kits specially tailored to the European legal situation.

Osh

According to the Health & Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, British employers have a legal obligation to provide adequate and suitable equipment and facilities for providing first aid in the workplace. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for the more precise implementation of what is considered adequate and suitable, and for this purpose issues the so-called Approved Code of Practice (ACoP).

The first aid regulations for first aid kits in the workplace are anchored in ACoP L74. However, there is no mandatory minimum equipment or minimum number. Rather, the employer is required to determine the required first aid equipment and thus also the content and number of first aid kits as part of a prescribed risk assessment .

For largely risk-free office workplaces, the minimum equipment recommended by the HSE for first aid kits consists only of first aid instructions, 20 first aid packs (self-adhesive), two eye bandages, four triangular towels , six safety pins, six medium-sized wound pads, two large wound pads and a pair of disposable gloves .
