Burns are a common hazard in manufacturing and production environments, whether from hot surfaces, chemicals, or electrical sources. Immediate care is critical to minimize tissue damage, reduce pain, and prevent infection. A well-stocked first aid cabinet ensures workers can respond effectively while waiting for professional medical assistance.
Essential items for burn care:
Burn gel or hydrogel dressings – provide cooling and pain relief for thermal burns.
Non-stick sterile pads – protect the injured area without disturbing the skin or blisters.
Cool packs – reduce heat and swelling immediately after the burn.
Chemical burn neutralizers – for exposure to acids, alkalis, or other hazardous substances.
Instructional guidance – clear steps for treating burns, including when to seek medical attention.
Having these items accessible helps reduce the severity of burn injuries, promotes faster recovery, and ensures compliance with workplace safety standards.
