Accident prevention regulations and the German workplace guidelines (BGV A5) require every workplace (e.g. offices, workshops, filling stations, playgroups, schools, construction sites, warehouses, freight companies, industrial concerns, department stores, markets etc.) to provide first-aid materials that comply with the standard DIN 13 157 (small content) or DIN 13 169 (large content). The first-aid materials can be kept in identifiable boxes, cases or cabinets. The requirements for the range and amount of first-aid materials are determined by the number of employees in the workplace. The occupational health insurance institutions regularly monitor whether the relevant requirements are being observed.
The German occupational health insurance institutions stipulate for most factories only the keeping of first-aid material in accordance with the requirements of DIN 13 157 and DIN 13 169.
Large companies however, must have in addition stretchers and fire blankets ready for immediate use in case of an emergency. Those are being sold by us as well as other articles for individual industrial sectories (e.g. laboratories, chemical industry) such as our first-aid box "Eyes", which is designed for immediate initial treatment of injuries around the eyes.
We recommend that the use by date of the content is regularly checked, as degradation by environmental effects cannot be ruled out.
Set out below is our comprehensive range of boxes, cases and cabinets that all fulfil the general requirements of the occupational health insurance institutions and the DIN standards. Separate brackets are available for the secure and highly visible mounting of the boxes and cases.
