HSE Standard First Aid Kits - a Full First Aid Solution for Your Workplace Needs
UK Health and Safety Legislation requires every workplace to have a suitably stocked First Aid Kit. What needs to be in that kit will be determined by the level of risk in your workplace environment. Our First Aid Kit range varies from kits suitable for desk-based low risk workplaces with a small number of personnel, to larger enterprises and workplaces with specific risks such as Burns or Sports Injuries.
What Should Be in a First Aid Kit?
What needs to be in your First Aid Kit will depend on the activities taking place at your workplace and should be based on your First Aid needs assessment. A basic kit, for a low risk, office-based workplace might contain the following as a minimum:
A leaflet with simple First Aid advice
Individually wrapped sterile plasters of different sizes
Sterile eye pads
Individually wrapped triangular bandages
Safety pins
Disposable gloves
Individually wrapped, sterile wound dressings
If your workplace activities include kitchen work, working with chemicals or flammable substances, you may also need to include additional items specific to treating burns.
Whatever your workplace, you should check your First Aid kits meet everything required in your needs assessment. If any items are used, they should be replaced. Each kit should be checked regularly to ensure it is fully stocked, that none of the contents have passed their expiry date and that they are still all fit for purpose.
