As per the July 2019 WHS Code of Practice, it’s a legal requirement for all work vehicles –whether it's a fleet of company cars or a single vehicle – to be equipped with a portable first aid kit. This is essential to meet workplace health and safety regulations.
The Code of Practice specifies that a portable first aid kit must be provided in vehicles used by mobile workers, such as couriers, taxi drivers, sales reps, bus drivers and inspectors. It’s also worth noting that the definition of ‘workplace’ in the WHS Code includes any location where work is carried out for a business – this covers everything from vehicles and ships to aircraft and other mobile structures, both on land and water.
To stay compliant with these regulations, it’s important for employers and business owners to ensure their vehicles are equipped with the right first aid kits to meet the needs of their workers on the move.
At FastAid, we provide a range of compliant first aid kits for work vehicles. Two of our most popular kits include:
The R1 Vehicle Pro is designed to be the ultimate vehicle first aid kit, meeting all WHS requirements for work vehicles. It ensures that you are always prepared for any emergency, helping you stay compliant with national safety regulations.
The R2 Tradies Modular kit is perfect for tradespeople and contractors, providing the tools to treat a wide range of injuries. Its modular design makes it easy to locate the required treatment quickly, ensuring you’re fully equipped for WHS compliance in your workplace.
If your work involves remote areas or places prone to snake and spider bites, it's logical to add a dedicated Snake & Spider Bite Kit to your vehicle or first aid kit. This compact, lightweight kit is designed to be easily carried and provides essential treatment for snake and spider bites.
This kit is an ideal addition to any first aid kit, providing you with the tools and guidance needed to respond quickly and efficiently to snake and spider bites in the field.
It’s important that every workplace vehicle has the right first aid kit on hand. Whether you're on the road or working in remote areas, accidents can happen, so it's essential to take action and make sure your vehicles are up to date with WHS standards. You can pick up a FastAid first aid kit in-store or online.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
