Medical, First Aid and Infection Control

Medical and First Aid Supplies - Infection Control

Anchortex Corporation is a leading distributor of first aid equipment for initial treatment of on-the-job injuries. While it is a requirement of OSHA that employees be provided with a safe and healthy workplace that is reasonably free of occupational hazards, it is unrealistic to expect accidents not to happen. Therefore, employers are required to provide medical and first aid personnel and supplies commensurate with the hazards of the workplace to meet OSHA standards and protect the safety of workers against further injury or infection. The details of a workplace medical and first aid program are dependent on the circumstances of the workplace and reasonable risks expected, but disinfectants and infection control supplies to protect against bloodborne pathogens, and standard first aid kits to treat minor injuries are a common basic requirement.
