Our Range of First Aid Kits

It is imperative that your customers have a suitable first aid kit at the workplace. First aid can buy valuable time in an emergency, preventing a dangerous situation from becoming worse, sometimes even fatal, while waiting for advanced medical care.
 
First aid kits come in various shapes and sizes, some have specific considerations for the various environments or industries that your customers work in on a day-to-day basis. The list of different types of kit is extensive.
 

The different types of first aid kit

Safety First Aid offers an extensive range of first aid kits, with numerous being specifically designed with different industries and environments in mind. Most workplace first aid kits will be available in either small, medium or large, the size that your customer requires will depend on the size and risk factor of their business.
 
General workplace first aid kits are either compliant with the HSE or British Standards. For more information on the differences between the two, read our blog article here.
 
For those businesses that have members of staff who are constantly travelling between locations there are also a range of travel and vehicle first aid kits to ensure that employees are safe no matter their location.
 

General workplace first aid kits

Having an appropriate first aid kit in the workplace is a legal requirement for any business. For the majority of work environments, for example an office or shops, will find that a general workplace first aid kit is appropriate.
 
Both the HSE and British Standard first aid kits will include general supplies such as plasters, bandages, gloves and moist wipes.
 

Vehicle First Aid Kits

If your customer has a number of staff who will be travelling as a part of their work, vehicle first aid kits are essential, in fact if they are a part of the transportation sector, it is a legal requirement.
 
Vehicle first aid kits are also supplied in various shapes and sizes to best suit the customers needs. We have kits that will work well for cars, those which are suitable for larger passenger carrying vehicles, for example buses. There are even first aid kits available if employees are travelling by motorcycle.
 
If your customer has employees who transport products overseas, it is important to ensure that their first aid kits are appropriate for the location they are travelling in as many countries have different regulations to those in the UK. Our Din 13164 European Motoring First Aid Kit is ideal for those who will be driving in European countries regularly because it contains all of the supplies legally required in a European motoring first aid kit.
 

First aid kits for schools

Also considered as workplaces, meaning that they have a legal requirement for the appropriate first aid kit are schools, colleges and early years providers. School first aid kits need to be specifically designed to treat injuries and illnesses that will affect both the staff and students at their locations. Therefore, it is important to ensure your customers receive the correct School first aid kit instead of a general workplace kit.
 
It is also a legal requirement that schools have first aid supplies available when they are off school premises. To ensure that this is being followed we would recommend the School Outing Kit which includes the supplies legally required and its own pupil accident book to ensure records are accurate.
 

Catering First Aid Kits

The catering industry can be one of the most accident-prone to work in with all of the hazards that are commonly found in that environment, such as knives. There are also special requirements for this environment to include detectable blue plasters in any first aid kit to prevent food contamination.
 
Catering first aid kits have been designed in a very similar fashion to the general workplace first aid kits, however they will include all of the industry specific requirements such as blue plasters and tape.
 

Sports first aid kits

Participating in sports can carry the risk of suffering from a unique set of injuries, such as muscle sprains and strains. Therefore, sports industries will require special first aid kits, that will provide injury support both on and off the field, with items like instant cold packs and foil blankets.
 

Trauma first aid

Designed to provide immediate life-saving treatment while waiting for advanced medical assistance, are out Trauma First Aid Kits. These kits are ideal for industries such as industrial and agricultural where there is a risk of major bleeds but are also becoming increasingly relevant in other industries with the potential implementation of Martyn’s Law and major incidents occurring more regularly.
 
Our trauma first aid kits include specialist first aid supplies such as trauma dressing, haemostatic granules and tourniquets, which are all designed to be better at controlling and stopping bleeding than the standard first aid kit supplies.
 

Burns first aid kits

Created specifically with the rapid treatment of burns in mind, our burns first aid kits are ideal for industries such as the catering or engineering, where the likelihood of burns is high. These kits will provide users with burn dressings and burn gel which are intended to reduce the pain and risk of infection to the affected area quickly.
 

Eyewash kits

For customers that work in an industry where eye injuries are a high risk, Eyewash first aid kits are the perfect solution. They will contain bottles containing a sterile eye wash solution and special eye dressings to ensure that treatment is administered quickly and efficiently.
 

Ensure your customer is prepared

It is important to understand which first aid kit will work best for your customer and how their needs could affect this.

Some workplaces may even benefit from more than one of these first aid kits, in which case it is better to be prepared than have too little first aid. In scenarios like this, it might be better to recommend a first aid point to ensure that have a comprehensive first aid range.
