Buy first aid equipment according to DIN 13169: First aid kits, boxes and fillings

The standard for first aid kits in accordance with DIN 13169 has been revised and updated by the relevant DIN committee. The "large" first aid kit from WERO fulfils the latest requirements of the updated DIN 13169.

DIN 13169 is a standard that specifies concrete requirements for the equipment of first aid kits in larger companies, public institutions and schools. The aim of the standard is to ensure comprehensive and rapid first aid in the event of injuries, which is particularly essential in areas with a high volume of people.

DIN 13169 specifies the requirements for first aid kits in larger companies and public institutions in order to ensure comprehensive first aid in an emergency. Although there is no legal obligation to use exactly this standard, DIN 13169 offers more comprehensive equipment than DIN 13157. However, companies have the option of using several DIN 13157 cases or boxes as an alternative in order to achieve the same level of protection.

A first aid kit in accordance with DIN 13169 is equipped with a variety of materials that enable injuries to be treated quickly and effectively. The most important contents include:

1. Plasters and wound dressings

• Adhesive plasters: 2 pieces
• Quick wound dressing: 24 pieces
• Fingertip plasters: 12 pieces
• Finger plasters: 12 pieces
• Plaster strips (7.2 x 1.9 cm): 12 pieces
• Plaster strips (7.2 x 2.5 cm): 24 pieces

2. Dressing materials

• Bandage pack size K: 2 pieces
• Bandage pack size M: 6 pieces
• Bandage pack size G: 2 pieces
• Bandage cloth A: 2 pieces
• Compress (10 x 10 cm): 12 pieces
• Eye compress: 4 pieces
• Fixation bandage (4 m x 6 cm): 4 pieces
• Fixation bandage (4 m x 8 cm): 4 pieces
• Triangular cloth: 4 pieces

3. Protective and auxiliary materials

• Instant cold compress: 2 pieces

• Disposable gloves: 8 pairs

4. Documentation and instructions

Regular inspection and maintenance is essential to ensure operational readiness. Employers are obliged to regularly check their first aid equipment for completeness and readiness for use. The following points must be observed

• Completeness: All prescribed materials must be available in sufficient quantities.
• Shelf life: The expiry date of sterile materials such as compresses and wound dressings should be checked and replaced if necessary.
• Cleanliness and integrity: The case itself and its contents must be clean and undamaged.
• Accessibility: The case must be stored in an easily accessible location that is clearly labelled and accessible to all employees.

A regular check, ideally once a year or as required, ensures that the first aid kit is optimally equipped and ready for use in an emergency. This contributes significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

In larger companies, the use of a DIN 13169 first aid kit is particularly useful if a large number of employees are involved or if there are particular operational risks, e.g. in production or in the construction industry. The comprehensive equipment enables several injured persons to be treated at the same time and provides sufficient material for different types of injury.

Schools and educational establishments also benefit from the comprehensive equipment in accordance with DIN 13169, as fast and effective first aid is particularly important in places where many children and young people come together every day. The "large" kit ensures that sufficient material is available to treat injuries that can frequently occur in everyday school life.

Public institutions such as administrations, libraries or cultural institutions with a high number of visitors should also have a first aid kit in accordance with DIN 13169. This ensures that both employees and visitors can be treated quickly in an emergency. In addition, the provision of a well-equipped first aid kit helps to fulfil the general duty of care and ensure public safety.
