Below is an example of a typical First Aid Kit.
Workplace first aid supplies should be kept in a container identified by a white cross on a green background.
- Don't forget to keep your kit up to date and replenish items as you use them.
- Choose first aid kits which comply with British Standard BS-8599. The size required will depend on the size and risk of the workplace
- Additional first aid supplies may be required depending on the environment. For example, if no tap water is available, bottled sterile water should be added to the kit
- The HSE (Health and Safety executive) recommends that you don't keep tablets or medicines in a first aid kit.
