About this tool
Build a first aid kit list with quantities for home, car, office or trek, scaled by group size, trip length and distance from help.
A first aid kit list is only useful when the quantities match the people, the days and the distance from help it has to cover. This builder starts from a per-item reference kit for one person over seven days, scales the consumables by group size, coverage period and how far you are from professional care, and — for workplace kits — holds every mapped item at the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 Class A minimum fill, which is defined for a kit serving up to 25 people.

Every line comes with a number and a unit, so the list doubles as a shopping list.
Office kits are floored at the ANSI Class A minimum fill and flagged when more than one kit is required.
Shelf lives are tracked per item so you know which thing expires first and when to re-check the box.
The core is wound care (assorted plasters, sterile gauze, a roller and a triangular bandage, tape, antiseptic wipes), protection (nitrile gloves, a CPR face shield, hand rub), tools (shears, tweezers, a printed guide) and a few over-the-counter items such as paracetamol and oral rehydration salts. A car or outdoor kit adds a pressure bandage, splint and foil blanket.
ANSI/ISEA Z308.1-2021 defines a Class A kit as serving up to 25 people, so an office of 60 needs three kits placed where people actually work, not one large box in reception. Class B kits carry larger quantities and extra items for higher-risk workplaces. Your local occupational safety rules may set a stricter figure — check them before you buy.
Check it at least every six months and immediately after any use. Sterile dressings usually carry a three to five year expiry, antiseptic wipes around three years, and most over-the-counter tablets two to three years from manufacture — the printed date on the pack always wins over any general rule.
A tourniquet is worth carrying where you are far from help — vehicles, remote worksites and the outdoors — but only if someone present has been trained to apply one, because misapplication causes harm. Many workplaces treat it as a Class B or trauma-kit item rather than a basic requirement, so check your local rules and arrange training first.
