Statutory workplace first aid kits — Factories Act compliant, for construction sites, factories, and offices across Northeast India.
A first aid kit is a legal requirement on every workplace in India under the Factories Act, 1948, and the Building and Other Construction Workers Act, 1996. For construction sites in Assam, Meghalaya, and the other Northeast states — where workers may be far from hospital facilities in remote locations — a well-stocked first aid kit and a trained first-aider can be the difference between a minor incident and a serious medical emergency. Multi Trade Combines supplies workplace-standard first aid kits from our Guwahati counter, along with individual refill packs for restocking after use.
The kit is part of a complete workplace safety programme that should also include fire extinguishers, personal protective equipment (PPE), and emergency response procedures. Our safety equipment range covers all these requirements — single-source procurement for the site safety manager or purchase officer.
Construction sites of all sizes — from small residential builds in Guwahati to large infrastructure projects on Assam's national highways and river bridges — must maintain first aid kits per statutory requirements. Tea estates and factory premises in Upper and Lower Assam must have first aid provisions under both the Plantations Labour Act and the Factories Act. Industrial units, workshops, engineering companies, and manufacturing facilities across Northeast India are similarly required to maintain first aid facilities.
Site safety officers and purchase managers typically maintain a stock of first aid kits for distribution across multiple work fronts on large projects. Engineering colleges and vocational training centres maintain first aid kits in workshops and laboratories. Hospitals, clinics, and corporate offices stock larger kits for their occupants.
The first aid kit pairs with fall-arrest lanyards, full-body safety harnesses, hard hats, safety shoes, and dust respirators from our Safety Equipment catalogue — a complete PPE and emergency response package for site safety compliance in Northeast India.

For a construction site first aid kit per the Factories Act (India) minimum requirements, the kit should contain: adhesive wound dressings in assorted sizes, sterile gauze bandages, triangular bandages and safety pins for limb immobilisation, antiseptic solution (Betadine or chlorhexidine), cotton wool, wound closure strips (steri-strips), scissors, disposable gloves, burn dressing (burnshield gel or equivalent), and an eyewash bottle. For sites over 50 workers in Assam, the Factories Act requires a first aid room. Multi Trade Combines supplies both individual kit refills and complete workplace kits.
A workplace first aid kit should be checked monthly by the designated first-aider to ensure all items are in date, packaging is intact, and the kit is fully stocked. After any use, the consumed items must be replaced within 24 hours. In the monsoon season in Northeast India (June–September), moisture can degrade plasters, bandages, and antiseptic packaging stored in site containers — check more frequently and replace deteriorated items. Keep a log of checks in the first aid register required by the Factories Act.
