First Aid Kits

Do I need a First Aid Kit?

Yes, First Aid kits are a legal requirement and are an essential item within the workplace whether that be an office, building site, factory or in your work van. All employers whether they are a small, medium or large have a duty of care to anyone they employ as well as any visitors or sub contractors they may have onsite. Sufficient and well stocked first aid supplies must be provided within any workplace and they must meet the requirements for that specific workplace.

What first aid kits are available and what do you get in them?

There are a range of first aid kits available and they are specific to the size of your business, everything from a one man kit to large 50+ person kit. First aid kits specific to certain areas of the workplace are also available , i.e. Burns Kits, Eyewash Stations and much more...
