The Complete Guide
First Aid Kit Servicing in New Zealand: What You Need to Know
Providing adequate first aid facilities is a legal obligation for every New Zealand employer under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. But compliance isn’t just about having a kit on the wall. It’s about having the right kit, in the right locations, stocked with the right contents, maintained on a regular schedule.
What Does First Aid Kit Servicing Mean?
First aid kit servicing refers to the regular inspection, restocking, and maintenance of workplace first aid kits. A serviced first aid kit is one that has been checked to confirm all contents are present, none have expired, and the kit is correctly stocked for the hazard profile of the workplace.
For most New Zealand businesses, self-managing this process is unreliable. Kits get used, items run out, expiry dates pass unnoticed, and nothing gets replaced until there’s an incident. Alsco’s managed restocking service removes this risk by putting a professional service team on a regular cycle across all your locations.
What Are First Aid Suppliers Responsible for in NZ?
As a first aid supplier in New Zealand, Alsco’s responsibility goes beyond simply delivering a product. Under our managed service model, we are responsible for:
- Recommending the correct kit type and quantity for your workplace
- Supplying all kits, burns kits, wash stations, and consumables
- Installing units at the right locations on your site
- Servicing and restocking every unit on a regular schedule
- Replacing expired or used items automatically
- Ensuring every unit meets the relevant NZ compliance standards at all times
Wash Stations: When Are They Required?
Emergency eyewash and wash stations are required in any New Zealand workplace where employees may be exposed to hazardous chemicals, biological agents, or other contaminants that could cause eye or skin injury. Common environments include laboratories, food processing facilities, industrial manufacturing, and chemical storage areas.
WorkSafe NZ guidelines require that eyewash stations are accessible within 10 seconds of the hazard location. Plumbed stations provide continuous flow for the required 15-minute flushing period. For locations where plumbing isn’t practical, Alsco supplies portable gravity-fed units that are maintained and refilled on each service visit.
Burns Kits: What Should They Contain?
A compliant workplace burns kit for New Zealand should contain, at minimum: burns dressings in multiple sizes, sterile non-stick dressings, burns gel or cooling agent, cling film or sterile covering for larger burns, disposable gloves, and clear first aid instructions. For chemical burn environments, the kit should also contain appropriate neutralising agents or flush solutions relevant to the chemicals in use on site.
Alsco configures burns kits based on the specific hazard environment of each workplace, ensuring the contents are appropriate for the type of burns risk your team faces.
How Often Should First Aid Kits Be Restocked?
The restocking frequency for your workplace first aid kits depends on the size of your team, the nature of your work, and how frequently the kits are used. As a general guide, WorkSafe NZ recommends that kits are inspected after every use and formally reviewed at least every 12 months. For high-use environments, more frequent service visits are warranted.
Alsco’s managed service schedules restocking visits based on your actual usage and workplace profile. High-hazard sites get more frequent visits. Lower-risk environments are serviced on an appropriate cycle. You don’t have to guess or track it yourself.
First Aid Kit Servicing Pricing in New Zealand
Rather than purchasing kits and managing restocking independently (which involves capital outlay, storage, and ongoing purchasing administration), Alsco’s managed service operates on a simple per-site service fee that covers everything. There are no upfront costs to get started.
Pricing depends on the number of sites, kit types required, and your service frequency. Contact Alsco directly on 0800 425 726 for a custom quote for your New Zealand operation.

Your Hassle-Free Solution To Installing Eyewash Stations In The Workplace
Summary: Workers in the manufacturing industry are still at high risk of eye injury.
Eyewash stations are the ultimate convenient answer. They provide on-the-spot decontamination to flush away hazardous substances that can cause injuries to the eyes.
Even a strict compliance with safety procedures can’t guarantee total protection from accidental chemical exposures. Look beyond the use of goggles, face shields, and procedures for using personal protective equipment.
If you want the most reliable eyewash stations that are affordable and easy to install, contact Alsco now.
Why Do You Need Eyewash Stations?
Every year, more than 4000 eye injuries occur at work in New Zealand. A sizeable percentage of these statistics consisted of employees from the manufacturing industry. Many results in pain, impaired vision, time off work and some are blinded.
The eye contains delicate and sensitive parts. If it comes in contact with corrosive chemicals and irritant liquids, it may cause corneal scarring. This leads to visual loss and disfigurement. Radiation from welding flash and industrial laser beams can lead to visual impairment by causing burns to the retinal layer.
Common eye injuries include:
- Penetration of foreign objects like metal scraping into the eyes
- Scratches and abrasions on the eye’s surface (cornea) from foreign objects
- Burns caused by exposure to caustic chemicals
- Swelling caused by being struck in the eye by a fast moving object
The good news is, most of these eye injuries can be alleviated, if not totally prevented. The best first aid treatment is to immediately flush the eyes with flushing fluid within 10 to 15 seconds of exposure. Then, followed by the appropriate medical attention.
Safety goggles and personal protective equipment can’t always guarantee total protection from accidents. Eyewash stations are the ideal solution for your eye emergency needs in the workplace. They are an absolute necessity, even for schools, laboratories, and kitchens.
What Does the Law Say About Eyewash Stations?
Safety standards define eyewash stations as devices designed and intended to deliver flushing fluid insufficient volume, to irrigate and flush the eyes. Australia and New Zealand Standards require a facility of the appropriate type in each room where chemicals are used.
Eyewash safety units should be located on the same level within ten seconds of the hazard or work areas. In the presence of strong acids or bases, the eyewash station should be adjacent to the hazard.
Eyewash units should function in accordance with safety standards. For plumbed units, a continual source of potable water is required. Stand-alone eyewash stations should immediately be refilled or replaced after use. Employers should make sure that these devices are highly visible and well-marked.
Make sure to purchase an eyewash unit that has been approved by a third-party authority. Maintain it regularly to ensure that it will do its job during an emergency. Employees who are exposed to hazardous substances must be trained in the use of the equipment.
How to Choose the Right Equipment?
The need for emergency eyewash stations is based on the chemicals that workers use and the tasks that they do in the workplace. A job hazard analysis is important to identify potential risks and dangers of the job and the work areas.
General requirements for eyewash stations include:
- Ability to flush both eyes simultaneously.
- Freeze protection when the possibility of freezing temperatures exists.
- Nozzles protected from airborne contaminants.
- The unit shall deliver no less than 0.4 GPM tepid flushing for 15 minutes.
- Valves should have a ‘stay open’ feature.
The standard also recommends self-contained units to be constructed of materials that will not corrode in the presence of flushing fluid. As for maintenance, both plumbed and self-contained eyewash stations must undergo weekly inspection to verify proper operation.
Plumbed eyewash stations are not always possible or accessible due to location issues within the workplace. If space is an issue, you’ll need a portable model to support or substitute a plumbed equipment. Portable eyewash stations are great for first aid.
The key requirement, for portable models, is that instructions and the expiration date must be permanently marked on the containers. Inspection and maintenance should be performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Regular check-ups, replacements, and resupplies are essential.
How To Do Proper Flushing?
Approved flushing fluids include potable water, preserved buffered saline solution, or other medically acceptable solutions. Eyewash stations should expel only tepid water with temperatures ranging from 60°F to 100°F.
Flushing periods will depend on the kind of foreign object or chemical the eyes are subjected to. If the nature of the contaminant is not known, a flushing period of at least 20 minutes is required.
For other chemicals, flushing and rinsing time are as follows:
- Mildly irritating chemicals require 5-minute flushing
- Moderate to severe irritants require 20 minutes
- Non-penetrating corrosives need 20 minutes
- Penetrating corrosives require longer flushing time of 60 minutes
Non-penetrating corrosives include most acids. Their properties limit the extent of damage since they react with human tissue to form a protective layer. Penetrating corrosives threaten the vision because they enter the eyes deeply. Hydrofluoric acid, phenol, and most alkalis are penetrating corrosives.
If irritation continues, repeat the flushing procedure as first aid until proper medical attention is available. The eye injury and chemical contamination should be consulted with a physician.
