Prevention through professional PPE – a central concern of AAV GmbH
On International First Aid Day, the focus is on a topic that often receives too little attention in everyday business – preparation for emergencies. But at AAV GmbH, your partner for professional occupational safety, prevention comes first. Because: The best first aid is the one that is not necessary in the first place. With the right personal protective equipment (PPE), many hazards can be minimized in advance. Our products – from safety helmets and safety shoes to high-visibility and cut-resistant clothing Replacing cut-resistant clothing with multi-standard clothing – help to create a safe working environment in which employees are protected and risks are actively reduced.
First aid as part of modern occupational health and safety concepts
Despite all precautions, accidents in everyday work cannot be completely ruled out. In such situations, it is crucial that: First aid materials are readily available, complete and in perfect condition. This also includes regularly checking whether content has been used up or expired – and replacing it immediately if necessary.
A well-stocked first aid kit can make all the difference in an emergency. Businesses should also ensure that equipment storage is accessible, labeled, and known. At AAV GmbH, we will be happy to advise you on standard-compliant first aid equipment – adapted to your industry and company size.
Maintenance, legal requirements and individual advice
Bandages, eyewash solutions and disposable gloves – which are part of the basic equipment of every first aid unit – are subject to a best-before date. Expired products no longer offer reliable protection and must be replaced in time.
Our expert advisors support you in meeting all legal requirements such as the DIN 13157 (small first aid kit) or DIN 13169 (large first aid kit) . In doing so, we pay attention not only to the basic requirements, but also to industry-specific features – so that your employees are optimally prepared in an emergency.
First aid training: knowledge that can save lives
Technical equipment alone is not enough – it has to go through Regular training . Employees who know how to act in an emergency provide additional security in the company. Even though AAV GmbH does not offer any training itself, we recommend that all companies have their first aiders certified by certified providers or the responsible employers' liability insurance associations on a regular basis.
Well-trained teams not only strengthen security awareness, but also create trust – an important foundation for any functioning security culture.
Our claim: Safety with a system
On International First Aid Day, AAV GmbH reaffirms its commitment to holistic occupational safety. We rely on a combination of high-quality personal protective equipment, well thought-out first aid equipment and individual expert advice – tailored to your operational reality.
Whether in industry, trade or trade: With the right PPE, I don't really find "current standards" suitable in this list. Better "a suitable security concept" or "current risk assessment" and trained employees can increase security in the company in the long term. Not just today – but every day.
