What our kits are, what they are not, and which rules apply – in plain language. This page mirrors the compliance section of our 2026 U.S. product catalog and is the reference for resellers, safety managers and customers.
The notices
Eight things to know before you buy, sell or restock
Each card states the rule, the source and what it means for you.
Standards compliance
Workplace kits meet ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 requirements (Class A / Type I–A and Type II–A as labeled on each product). They are designed to help employers meet OSHA first aid requirements under 29 CFR 1910.151(b) (general industry) and 29 CFR 1926.50 (construction).
OSHA does not approve, certify or endorse first aid products. Employers remain responsible for assessing worksite hazards and for training.
FDA status
Our kits are manufactured in an FDA-registered facility. First aid kits are generally FDA-listed Class I or Class II medical devices. They are never marketed as “FDA approved”.
Automated external defibrillators and their accessories are FDA-regulated devices approved through premarket approval; in the United States most AEDs are prescription devices.
OTC drug labeling
Drug-containing components – burn cream, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic and sting-relief towelettes – are labeled in accordance with FDA over-the-counter Drug Facts requirements (21 CFR 201.66). Read all product labels before use.
Product safety
Keep out of reach of children. Kits contain small parts – choking hazard. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and vehicle heat.
Expiration & restocking
Inspect contents regularly and replace used or expired items. Expiration dates apply to sterile and drug-containing components.
Recommended rhythm: twice a year at home, monthly in workplaces, weekly on construction sites (29 CFR 1926.50).

Good to know
Compliance questions we are asked most
Is any first aid kit “OSHA approved”?
No. OSHA does not approve, certify or endorse products. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151(b) requires employers to make adequate first aid supplies readily available, and its non-mandatory Appendix A points to ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 for kit contents. A kit that meets ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 Class A is what inspectors and insurers generally expect in low-risk workplaces.
What is the difference between Class A, Class B and Type I–IV?
Class is the supply list: Class A for the most common workplace injuries, Class B for higher-risk or more populated sites. Type is the container: Type I indoor mountable, Type II portable indoor, Type III mobile, Type IV outdoor/rough use. Our OSHA Class A kit is Type I–A; the Contractor Series is Type II–A.
Are your kits FDA approved?
No first aid kit is. Ours are manufactured in an FDA-registered facility; first aid kits are generally FDA-listed Class I or Class II devices, and drug-containing components carry FDA Drug Facts labeling. AEDs, by contrast, do go through FDA premarket approval.
Do first aid kits expire?
Sterile dressings and drug-containing items carry expiration dates; bandages and tools do not. Inspect the kit twice a year at home, monthly in workplaces and weekly on construction sites, and replace used or expired items.
Where are the kits made and shipped from?
Manufactured in an FDA-registered facility in China under our own supply-chain control, and shipped from our U.S. warehouse. Sold in the United States by GFAP Canada Inc.
Can I get documentation for an audit or a tender?
Yes. Product pages list SKU, UPC, weight, dimensions, case pack and full contents. Wholesale accounts can request product data sheets and the 2026 U.S. catalog at support@gfafirstaid.com; we answer within one business day.
