Hart Health

Q: What is the difference between an ANSI Class A and a Class B first aid station?

Class A is stocked for the common injuries of a lower-risk workplace such as an office or light assembly area. Class B adds quantity and range, including a tourniquet and a padded splint, for higher-risk or more populated sites like warehouses, manufacturing floors, and construction. Both fills are defined in ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 .

Q: How many shelves does a first aid station need?

Shelf count tracks how much fill the cabinet holds, which follows headcount and hazard. HART cabinets run 2-shelf through 5-shelf in both ANSI classes, with an extra-wide 4-shelf where wall space allows. Each listing states its cabinet dimensions and how many distinct items are in the fill, and the first aid stations page compares every size side by side.

Q: How do I restock a HART first aid station?

Every component in the fill is individually available and listed by item number on each product page, so a cabinet is restocked by the item as supplies are used or reach their expiration date rather than replaced whole. Contact us for refill items and volume pricing.

First Aid Stations

HART Health has manufactured workplace first aid supplies from Seattle, Washington since 1974. Its first aid stations are steel wall-mount cabinets stocked to the fill schedules in ANSI/ISEA Z308.1, the standard the building and safety codes point to when OSHA 1910.151 requires that adequate first aid supplies be readily available.

ANSI Class A and Class B stations

The line splits along the two ANSI classes. Class A covers the common injuries of a lower-risk workplace such as an office or light assembly area. Class B carries greater quantity and range, including a tourniquet and a padded splint, for higher-risk or more populated sites like warehouses, manufacturing floors, and construction. Both classes run 2-shelf through 5-shelf, plus an extra-wide 4-shelf, so a station scales with headcount instead of forcing a second cabinet. If you are still working out which class a site needs, our guide to first aid requirements by industry works through it setting by setting.

OSHA-stocked stations

HART also builds stations stocked to OSHA needs rather than to an ANSI class, which suits smaller or lower-hazard sites. A Deluxe fill widens the range on a 3-shelf cabinet, and a Food Service fill adds a Water-Jel burn dressing for kitchens and processing areas. Every station lists its contents in full on the product page, so the fill can be checked against your own hazard assessment before you buy. Browse the range in first aid cabinets.

Restocking rather than replacing

What distinguishes the stations in practice is the fill rather than the box. Medications carry full disclosure labeling on unit-dose packaging, contents are organized into dispenser boxes so an employee can find what they need, and every component is individually available, so a cabinet can be restocked as items are used or expire instead of being replaced.
