First Aid Kits
Recommendations and guideline standards for workplace first aid provision in the UK are provided by the two main official bodies of The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and The British Standards Institute (BSI).
Whilst these recommendations may set out the minimum guidelines, all workplaces must undertake a First Aid Risk Assessment to ensure that their individual first aid provision meets the needs and risks associated with the actual working activities undertaken at any given site.
HSE first aid kits
Whilst The HSE issue a basic list of items recommended for workplace kits, it is stipulated that the kit contents and the equipment available must be ‘adequate and appropriate in the circumstances’. Each employer is responsible for performing ongoing detailed risk assessments to ensure that the first aid provision remains appropriate to the workplace concerned.
British Standard BS8599-1 first aid kits
BSI kits feature additional and more comprehensive contents to those minimum
requirements set out in the L74 Guidance on Regulations. These kits are developed with
further items intended to address a wider range of the more common workplace risks.
The BS8599-1 standards establish enhanced minimum first aid kit recommendations that
take account of the varying provision levels suitable or the risk category and the number
of workers in the assessed workplace.
What size of kit do I need?
In assessing the most appropriate size of kit, consideration should be given
to both the level of risk and the number of employees in the workplace.
The following table will provide general guidance, whilst actual requirements
should be based upon a workplace specific risk assessment.
