Victoria has some good spill kit information in their managing spills guideline.
Managing spills of blood and body fluids and substances
https://www.health.vic.gov.au/infectious-diseases/managing-spills-of-blood-and-body-fluids-and-substancesIts organisation dependant, however, a process to check the contents (against a contents list) annually and post use/refill is often practice. At this time PPE not used in the year could be changed to ensure capability- if concerned. All PPE has a life span depending on the brand purchased – but often this falls in the 3-year mark.
Hope this helps.
Carrie
