In recognising the need to ensure that workplace first aid provision is adequate and appropriate The British Healthcare Trade Association has been working with the British Standards Institute (BSI), and has created a new British standard for first aid kits in the workplace BS 8599-1:2011. The new standard came into effective on 30th June 2011 with a 6 month transitional period for companies to comply.
Kits are based upon the minimum requirements set out by the Health & Safety Executive in their approved code of practice. The contents of the kits include a wider range of common workplace risks and are more comprehensive than the current HSE kits. The new British Standard kits will therefore represent best practice in workplace first aid provision whilst still being compliant with HSE guidelines.
- Increased number of disposable nitrile gloves
- Decreased number of Triangular Bandages as they are no longer used for the immobilisation of limb injuries
- Introduction of smaller dressings for finger injuries that are too large for plasters
- Introduction of adhesive tape to secure bandages without using safety pins
- Introduction of gel burn dressings and a conforming bandage to secure it
- Introduction of clothing cutters
- Introduction of an eyewash bottle for travel kits
- Introduction of a resuscitation face shield to provide protection for first aiders
- Introduction of the foil survival blanket to keep the casualty warm in cases of clinical shock
The size of the kit required is dependant on a combination of the level of risk in the workplace and the number of employees
| Category of Hazard | Number of employees | Number & Size of First Aid Kit | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Low Hazard* |
|
|
||||||
|
Higher risk** |
|
|
* e.g. offices,shops, libraries
** e.g.light engineering and assembly work, food processing, warehousing, work with dangerous machinery or sharp instruments, construction, checmical manufacture etc.
This table is for guidance only and each workplace needs to evaluate its own level of risk.
Special circumstances need to be considered e.g remoteness from medical services and sites with several buildings. In these instances there may need to be more first aid kits than set out in the table.
