Workplace First Aid Kits

What workplace first aid kit should your business buy in 2026?

Short answer: For most 50-person workplaces, the First Aid Only 746000 SmartCompliance 50-Person ANSI A+ First Aid Cabinet — a wall-mountable ANSI Class A+ fill with refill reminders that keep it compliant between audits. Small crews up to 10 should start with the Ever Ready First Aid 10-Person ANSI Class A First Aid Kit, and higher-risk sites should step up to the Class B fill of the Ever Ready First Aid ANSI Class B OSHA First Aid Kit. The whole decision comes down to Class A vs Class B and headcount — both are unpacked below. Start with the first aid kit selector; plant and floor setups are worked through in first aid supplies for manufacturing and first aid kits for warehouses.

Workplace First Aid Kits (2026)

This collection is the compliance core of the WC Safety First Aid Kits & Supplies category: nine OSHA- and ANSI-oriented kits spanning 10-person shops to 100-person facilities, from vendors including First Aid Only, Ever Ready First Aid, ProHeal, RHINO RESCUE, and 24/7 First Aid. If your facility is fixed and larger, compare the wall-mounted route in First Aid Cabinets & Stations; once you own a kit, keep it compliant with matched packs from First Aid Kit Refills.

One rule drives this page: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151 requires adequate first aid supplies to be readily available, and OSHA's appendix points to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 — which defines the Class A fill (common workplace injuries) and the Class B fill (larger quantities and additional items for high-risk or high-headcount environments). Buy the class first, then the size.

Editor's pick — First Aid Only 746000 SmartCompliance 50-Person ANSI A+ First Aid Cabinet
The right kit for the most common buyer here — a 50-person office, shop, or light-industrial site — because the SmartCompliance refill system solves the problem that gets workplaces cited: kits that were compliant on day one and empty by the audit.

Workplace first aid kit comparison

Decision rules:

• Buy the First Aid Only 746000 cabinet if you run a 50-person fixed site and want compliance to maintain itself via refill reminders.
• Buy the Ever Ready First Aid Class B kit if your hazard profile is higher-risk — manufacturing, fabrication, warehousing — and you need the bigger Class B fill.
• Buy the First Aid Only 9302-25M contractor kit if the kit rides in a truck to job sites — the metal case takes abuse a soft kit won't.
• Buy the Ever Ready First Aid 10-Person kit or the ProHeal 10-Person kit if you're a small shop, food truck, or crew of ten or fewer.
• Buy the RHINO RESCUE 100-person kit or the 24/7 First Aid 59554 kit if headcount runs to 100 and you want maximum count per dollar.

How to choose a workplace first aid kit

Class A vs Class B — the core decision, and who it applies to

Five of the twenty kits here state an ANSI class: three Class A and two Class B (one of those written as ANSI B+). The other fifteen publish a piece count and a person rating but no class, which does not make them non-compliant — OSHA does not require a class — but it does mean they carry no documentation to point. If a class is the reason you are buying, your field is five kits, not twenty. If you simply need adequate supplies on the wall, any of the twenty can serve and your program documents the fill rather than the standard.

What the classes actually contain: Class A is sixteen required item types aimed at the common workplace injuries — cuts, abrasions, minor burns. Class B is twenty-four, adding a splint, a tourniquet and larger trauma dressings for higher-risk or remote sites. That is why a Class B kit runs two to three times the piece count and why swapping one for the other is not like-for-like in either direction. A high piece count is not a class: a 400-piece kit of adhesive bandages can still miss required Class A item types.

ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 splits workplace fills into Class A (common injuries: minor cuts, abrasions, minor burns, eye irritation) and Class B (larger quantities plus additional items for high-risk or high-density environments). Offices, retail, and light shops are Class A territory. Manufacturing, warehouses, kitchens, and construction crews should default to Class B — like the Ever Ready Class B wall-mount kit — because the incremental cost is small against the coverage gap. The line-item decode is in OSHA First Aid Kit Requirements: 29 CFR 1910.151 and ANSI Z308.1 Explained.

Person rating and placement

Size to the headcount the kit actually serves, not the whole company. Person ratings are manufacturer sizing conventions — a 50-person kit on the ground floor doesn't cover the crew two buildings over. OSHA's "readily available" language usually translates to one placement per floor, department, or vehicle.

Case format: soft, metal, plastic cabinet, or wall-mount

Soft-sided kits are lightest and cheapest; metal cases like the First Aid Only 9302-25M metal contractor kit survive truck beds; wall-mount cabinets keep supplies visible and fixed. If you're mounting anyway and headcount exceeds 50, compare full cabinets in Best First Aid Cabinets & Wall-Mount Stations.

Refill system or manual restock

The SmartCompliance kits flag depleted items so restocking never lapses; manual kits depend on someone noticing. Either way, the restock itself comes from the refills collection — match the refill class to the kit class.

What these kits don't cover

No Class A or B fill includes a tourniquet or chest seal. If your assessment includes severe-bleeding hazards, pair the kit with a unit from Trauma Kits & Bleeding Control collection.

OSHA and ANSI requirements for workplace kits

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151 (general industry) and 29 CFR 1926.50 (construction) require readily available first aid supplies, and OSHA's non-mandatory Appendix A references ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 for contents. "OSHA-compliant" on a product listing means the manufacturer built the fill to that reference chain. We keep the full explainer — including Type I–IV container ratings and how the classes map to citations — in one place: OSHA first aid kit requirements reference post. Construction buyers should also see the Construction Site PPE hub.

Pairs well with this collection

Ranked picks with full pros/cons live in Best Workplace First Aid Kits (ANSI Class A & B), and the category-wide decision tree is the pillar Which First Aid Kit Do You Need?. Round out placements with burn care supplies for kitchens and hot work, an eyewash station for splash areas, and CPR masks for responder stations.

Total cost of ownership

The container is a one-time cost; the fill is consumable. A cabinet-plus-refill system typically beats replacing cheap soft kits every time contents run down — and it survives audits better. Budget an annual expiration sweep (ointments, eye wash, and burn gel are dated), and keep one matched refill pack from First Aid Kit Refills sideways link on the shelf so restock never waits on shipping.

How we evaluated these kits

All twenty kits were read against their own manufacturer listings, and the collection was measured rather than described from memory: 20 of 20 are complete workplace kits with no cabinets or refills misfiled; person ratings run 10, 25, 50 and 100; five state an ANSI class (three A, two B); eleven reference OSHA; and six mention Z308.1 at all. Class and compliance claims are repeated only where the manufacturer's own listing states them, and we do not infer a class from a piece count. We also name only brands that are actually in this collection — a brand being stocked elsewhere on the site is not the same as it being on this shelf. Standards context is mapped to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151, 29 CFR 1926.50 and ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021. We do not test kits and we hold no medical credential.

Workplace first aid kit FAQ

How many of these kits are ANSI class rated?

Five of twenty — three Class A and two Class B, one of which states its class as ANSI B+ rather than "Class B". The remaining fifteen publish a piece count and usually a person rating, but no class. That is a documentation difference rather than a safety one: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151(b) requires adequate supplies and never names a class, so an unclassed kit can be perfectly adequate — it simply leaves your program, rather than the standard, to evidence the fill. If an auditor or a contract asks for a class, buy from the five.

Which kit suits a construction site?

A construction first aid kit is really three requirements at once: a case that survives a job box, a person rating matched to the crew, and enough trauma capacity for the injuries a site actually produces. Six kits here are built for that use — the First Aid Only Contractor's kits at 25 person, the EVERLIT metal contractor kit, the BrightCare job-site kit and the 50 person first aid kit options from First Aid Only. Prefer a metal or hard case over soft-sided, and read 29 CFR 1926.50 rather than 1910.151 — construction has its own first aid standard, and where no infirmary or clinic is reasonably accessible it requires a trained first-aid responder on site, not just supplies on a wall.

What makes a kit an "ANSI first aid kit"?

The phrase ansi first aid kit means the contents have been matched to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1, which lists required item types and minimum quantities by class. It is a contents standard, not a container one — no box is independently rated, which is why a class-matched refill can bring an unclassed container up to standard and why the refill's packing list, not the case, is your adequacy evidence. Six of the twenty kits here reference Z308.1 and five state a specific class.

Is a person rating the same as a headcount limit?

No, and treating it as one is the most common sizing mistake. A person rating describes the quantity of supplies in the kit, not how many people it may legally serve. Two things matter more than the roster: how far the kit is from where injuries actually happen, and how quickly it gets restocked. A 100-person kit at the far end of a building is worse than two 25-person kits sited near the hazards. Size by travel time first, then by consumption rate.

Does this collection carry MFASCO kits?

Not in this collection. MFASCO products are stocked — metal wall cabinets, class-matched refills and a vehicle kit — but they sit in First Aid Cabinets, First Aid Kit Refills and OSHA First Aid Kits rather than here. We say so plainly because a brand being on the site is not the same as a brand being on this shelf.

Do I need a Class A or Class B first aid kit?

Class A for low-risk environments — offices, retail, light service work. Class B for manufacturing, warehousing, food service, construction, or any site where injuries beyond minor cuts are plausible. When in doubt, buy Class B; the extra cost is minor. See the OSHA requirements decode for the exact fill differences.

Is a 10-person kit OSHA-compliant for a small office?

Yes, if it keeps adequate supplies readily available for that headcount — the Ever Ready 10-Person Class A kit and ProHeal 10-Person Class A kit both carry ANSI Class A fills sized for exactly that scenario.

What does the person rating on a kit actually mean?

It's the manufacturer's sizing convention for how many people the fill quantities reasonably serve — not a legal limit. Size to the local headcount each placement covers, and add placements rather than oversizing one kit.

What does ANSI A+ mean on the First Aid Only 746000?

It's First Aid Only's designation for a fill built to the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 Class A list with contents beyond the minimums — verify the exact fill list on the 746000 product page or in the full 746000 review.

Metal, plastic, or soft-sided case — does it matter?

For fixed indoor placements, no — buy on fill and price. For trucks, job sites, and shops, metal or rigid plastic protects contents from crushing and moisture; that's why the contractor kit uses a mountable metal case.

Should the kit be wall-mounted or portable?

Fixed facilities benefit from mounted kits — everyone knows where it is, and it's harder to walk off. Crews that move need portables. The Ever Ready Class B kit splits the difference with a mountable case that lifts off as a carry kit.

Do these kits satisfy OSHA 1926.50 on construction sites?

OSHA 1926.50 requires first aid supplies on site when clinics aren't nearby; contractor-oriented kits with ANSI fills are the standard way crews meet it. Pick a rugged case, size to crew, and document your inspections — details in the reference explainer.

How often should a workplace kit be inspected?

Monthly visual checks, restock immediately after use, and a dated-item audit at least annually. SmartCompliance-style kits shortcut this with refill-reminder tabs.

Do workplace first aid kits include medications?

Varies by kit — some fills include OTC tablets, others are supplies-only. Check each product page, and restock medications only per their labels. This page isn't medical advice.

What if my facility has more than 100 people?

Split coverage across multiple placements or step up to a shelf cabinet — the First Aid Only 90575 3-shelf cabinet is rated 100–150 person and restocks by shelf. Compare formats in the cabinets collection.

Do I still need a trauma kit if I have an OSHA kit?

If severe bleeding is a credible hazard, yes — Class A/B fills don't include tourniquets or chest seals. Add a bleeding-control kit from trauma kits collection; ranked options are in Best Trauma Kits & IFAKs.

Which workplace kit is the best overall value?

At the value end of the range, the RHINO RESCUE 371-piece kit delivers the highest count per dollar; for long-run cost the refillable First Aid Only 746000 SmartCompliance cabinet wins because you never rebuy the container. Full rankings: Best Workplace First Aid Kits guide.
