First Aid Kit, Regulation 7 Compliant

A Regulation 7 First Aid Kit bridges the gap between basic medical supplies and high-risk workspace compliance under South Africa’s Occupational Health and Safety Act. While standard kits handle minor wounds, a Regulation 7 compliant kit features an expanded inventory and a mandatory body fluid spillage kit to safely manage bloodborne pathogen risks in industrial, manufacturing, or commercial spaces with 5 to 50 employees.
