Company Policy; Manuals; Procedure
When performing my safety checks I noticed that the EMK (Emergency Medical Kit) located in the compartment at 1L was not part of my safety check. I also noticed that FA (Flight Attendant) 4; who also has safety checks in the forward cabin; did not perform a check of the EMK. I checked the Flight Attendant Operating Manual to see which FA is responsible for checking the EMK. No FA is assigned to pre-flight the EMK. I then checked the Manual/Aircraft General/Preflight Safety Checks to confirm that the EMK is a FA Safety check and not a maintenance check. It is listed as a FA check. This omission affects the entire B737-800 fleet.
B737 Flight Attendant reports that the Emergency Medical Kit is not part of pre-flight safety check.
