A first aid kit that matches the risks
Every company is required to be able to provide first aid. How extensive that needs to be follows from the RI&E: an office is fine with a standard kit, while a workshop with chemicals also needs eyewash and a construction site needs extra dressings for cuts and grazes. Check the contents for expiry at least once a year and restock immediately after use — a half-empty kit is the problem you only discover when things go wrong.
Safety knives reduce injuries
Cuts from standard utility knives are one of the most common workplace injuries. A safety knife with an automatically retracting blade costs a few euros more and prevents exactly that. If you work a lot with boxes and film, choose a model with a recessed blade: it cuts through the packaging material but not the hand underneath.
