First Aid Kits
The British Standard for Safety Kits became effective on 30th June 2011.
ABC Worksafe are able to provide you with good quality and great value workplace First Aid Kits, which will keep you in-line with legal requirements.
Employers are responsible for ensuring that First Aid provision and First Aid Kits are kept up to date and are appropriate for treating any injuries that could arise on site. They are also required to make a risk assessment to decide what the hazard levels are and how many employees are involved in the area to be covered.
The new BS8599-1: 2019 Compliant First Aid Kits have been introduced and we've added two Kits to our range: the Workplace First Aid and Critical Injury First Aid.
The BSI Workplace First Aid Kit (BS8599-1) content has been under review to ensure the contents are still suitable and fit for purpose. Modern risk and injuries have been taken into consideration by the BSI and other stakeholders such as the BHTA.
