The first aid room should contain essential first aid facilities and equipment, be easily accessible to stretchers and clearly signposted and identified. If possible the rooms should be reserved exclusively for giving first aid.”

The HSE Approved Code of Practice and Guidance Clause 29 “First Aid Containers” says that:
