Workplace First Aid Kits
Why Choose a British Standard First Aid Kit?
By purchasing a first aid kit that complies with British Standard 8599-1 you’re meeting a nationally recognised standard for workplace first aid provision. Designed to deliver a consistent, high-quality level of care these kits align with UK health and safety regulations and best-practice guidance from the British Standards Institution.
The contents and size of BS8599-1 kits are based on workplace risk assessments including both the number of employees and the nature of workplace hazards. This allows employers to select appropriate provision for environments ranging from low-risk offices to higher-risk industrial workplaces to meet their responsibilities under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
