First aid kit inspection record

Record one inspection and one card per finding. Use your workplace’s assessed contents list as the expected standard. This record does not certify compliance or decide whether a kit is safe to use.

Entries stay in this page’s memory; they are not sent to Kitora or saved automatically. Download an editable copy before leaving or refreshing. Keep injury and treatment information in a separate secure record.

Start from a worked example

These fictional examples use workplace-selected stock levels, not national minimums. Each button adds a new finding; it preserves your existing entries.

Example: recording and resolving a shortage

Finding: Kit 02 has 2 pairs of gloves; workplace list v3 specifies 5. Interim action: tell the supervisor about the gap and confirm suitable replacement stock is accessible. Action: return 3 pairs to Kit 02; Casey owns it, due 10 September 2026. Evidence for closure: recount confirms 5 pairs in the kit, packaging intact; inventory updated, checked and dated by Morgan. An order confirmation alone does not show the kit was restored.

Before you finish the inspection

Check location, access and signs; assessed items and quantities; used or missing stock; seals, sterile packaging and cleanliness; expiry and damage; instructions, emergency details and workplace-specific items. Record any areas you could not check. “No findings” means no exceptions were recorded; it is not a readiness decision.

Assign each open finding to a named person. If the gap affects immediate first aid availability, contact the responsible person now and record the temporary arrangement. Set a due date appropriate to the risk. After the action, record what was physically checked, where supporting evidence is held, the completion date and who verified it. Review any remaining open actions separately from the next routine inspection.

What to include in the record

01

Which kit?

Identify the location, ID and check type.

02

What was expected?

Name the contents list and any condition or quantity you checked.

03

What was found?

Describe what was missing, damaged, expired or difficult to access.

04

Who will fix it?

Record who will do each task and when it is due.

05

When was it fixed?

Record when the work was completed and when the kit needs checking again.

Safe Work Australia’s model Code recommends regular and after-use checks, a signed and dated inventory list, and review of stock, condition, expiry and sterile packaging. Check whether the model Code has legal effect in your jurisdiction.

Use the right record for the job.

This page records the physical kit and its follow-up. Use the contents checklist for the item-level check, the restocking sheet for an order handover, and the training register for first aiders, qualifications and renewal dates. An injury or treatment record is separate again.

Read Safe Work Australia’s model Code, then check the regulator for your state or territory.
