Dear Manisha
I am not sure whether your firm will comes under Factories Act or not. However the requirement of First Aid Box is clearly defined in Factories Act 1948.
Dear Sameer
I am disagree with your statemet. As per section 45 of Act it states as below.
45. First Aid Appliances - 1. There shall in every factory be provided and maintained so as to be readily accessible during all working hours first aid boxes or cupboards equipped with the prescribed contents, and number of such boxes or cupboards to be provided and maintained shall not be less than one for every one hundred and fifty workers ordinarily employed at any one time in the factory.
Manisha you may refer your applicable state factory rules for getting the prescribed contents to be maintained in First Aid Box.

Thank you very much!
But the problem is that the Factory Act reflects the items as per factory requirements. Since we are in a BPO, I was wondering about the specific first aid items.
I will be waiting for your response.

Hi Sunil,
Since your company is under the BPO sector, you just need an OTC (Over the Counter) Kit. The First Aid kit includes Fever tablets (Crocin, Paracetamol & Colpol), Motions tablets (Eldoper), Headache tablets, Stomach ache tablets (Rantac, Zintac), Bandages, Handy plast, spirit, Voilin Spray, Irritation & allergic tablets (Cetrizin), Cold tablets (D-Cold Total, Coldact), body pains tablets (brufen or some antibiotics).
These are the medicines commonly used in every company. As of now, in our factory, we do use the same kind of medicines. Ensure that the HR person is totally responsible for refilling the tablets once a month or twice a month; expired tablets need to be disposed of or returned to medical shops.
This entire process should be tracked periodically. So, a separate sheet should be maintained where you can note down everything.

Hi All,
Recently, a bicycle has been stolen from the parking available outside our office building. Unfortunately, the bicycle belongs to one of our employees, and he was on his shift when his bicycle was stolen. I am confused about how I can help that employee because, as per my understanding, any refund cannot be paid to that employee. Please help.
