How are we different?

Initial offers a range of First Aid kits that can be tailored specifically to the varying needs of our customers. We take the onus off the business owner to ensure that First Aid kits are replenished, in date and maintained. Initial will manage the inventory, audit expiration dates and ensure that all components of the First Aid kit(s) on premises are always compliant with Health & Safety regulations.

Agility of our service

The size and reach of our service operation allow us to offer a tailored service offering to each customer. Some customers will require one First Aid kit or defibrillator on site because of company size, whereas our larger customers, who, perhaps, engage in more hazardous industries, may require multiple First Aid kits offering more specific first aid components.

How are our products different?

We offer standard and modular First Aid kits that can be customised depending on the nature of the business or risks associated with specific labour related workload - customised First Aid kits containing burn packs may be required in a catering environment, whereas snakebite kits may be more appropriate for those operating businesses where there labour force work in high risk outdoor environments.

Who we service

We support customers across Australia. We have a 470+ strong team of Initial service technicians located throughout the country that allows us to tailor the frequency of replenishment visits to your individual needs. Because our First Aid kits are modular, we are capable of servicing the first aid requirements of customers across the widest range of industries

Hygiene insights

Why wash your hands?

Your body harbours a wide selection of microorganisms — intestinal/faecal, oral, nasal, dermal — as well as carrying many others picked up from the environment. All these actions that you do without thinking can pick up unwanted germs, dirt or chemicals and transmit them to your mouth or to other objects or people.

FAQs

A first aid defibrillator, commonly known as an Automated External Defibrillator (AED), is a portable device used to deliver a shock to the heart in the event of a cardiac arrest. It helps restore normal heart rhythm and can be a life-saving tool in emergencies.

The three main steps for using a defibrillator are: 1) Turn on the AED and follow the voice prompts, 2) Attach the electrode pads to the person's chest, and 3) Deliver a shock if advised by the device, then continue CPR as instructed by the AED until emergency help arrives.

Yes, Australian workplaces are required to have a First Aid kit. The kit should be easily accessible and contain the necessary supplies to handle workplace injuries and emergencies, as required by workplace health and safety regulations.

In Australia, not all workplaces are required to have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED); however, high-risk environments such as gyms, factories, or large offices are strongly encouraged to have one. Having an AED on-site can provide crucial assistance in the event of a cardiac emergency.
