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 the 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.

Or better still, you could just outsource this bit of the work. I had a similar problem and i got in an appropriate institution to come check the place out, the type of work that goes on in each site or department and they provided the needed first aid boxes. You might think it is too much cost to outsoruce it but it is beneficial in the long run.
All the best.
