Choosing Burns Equipment


You don’t have to be working in an environment with a high risk of fire to burn yourself while at work, which is why we carry a range of burn relief equipment suitable for all businesses. Burns can occur in just about any situation and are likely if your workplace has an on-site kitchen where scalding from boiled water or a burn from the toaster could cause a nasty injury. If this sounds like something that could – or has – occurred in your workplace, then one very easy and simple thing you can do is stock your first aid kit with burn relief products. Along with ensuring your business is fully stocked with the appropriate burn relief equipment, it is important to make certain that you also have an understanding of how to support your workers and visitors if the situation arises. Take a look at our ‘How to Handle First Aid for Burns in 13 Easy Steps’ page to protect your business with confidence.

Burn relief products come in various types and sizes, with gels and wipes being one very popular way to treat small burns. BurnSoothe Gel provides almost immediate relief for minor burns and will help relieve pain and increase the comfort of the burn victim immeasurably. It is non-toxic and sterile as well as very easy to use; simply apply to the affected area of the skin. This burn relief gel also helps stop the spread of any contaminant.

For burn injuries that are more serious you should consider using Advanced Hydrogel Burn Plasters, which provide burn relief and act as a plaster all in one easy application. The use of these plasters helps speed up the healing process and because the plaster protects the skin, it can prevent contamination of the wound. The plasters are very adhesive, which helps them stick to the skin as needed, but will not cause further pain when being removed. Having a few of these plasters in your first aid kit ensures you have an immediate way to deal with any burns that occur in the workplace, treating them swiftly and effectively.

Another form of burn relief equipment that is easy to use and highly effective is individually wrapped burn dressings. Both CoolTherm Dressings and BurnSoothe Dressings provide immediate pain relief from burns or scalds, with the CoolTherm Dressings providing instructions for medics when assessing the burn area. BurnSoothe Dressings can be used by anyone and don’t require cooling, so they can easily be stored in just about any first aid kit. To use properly and to ensure the dressing stays in place, these dressings are best used with the aid of conforming bandages, which can be found in our bandages and tape section.

Make sure your first aid supplies are up to scratch and the best they can possibly be by stocking up with burn relief equipment, just in case the worst should happen and any workers or visitors happen to burn themselves while on your premises.

Being ready for workplace burn injuries


Prevention is always better than a cure, but accidents are still possible even when employers are conscientious about health and safety protocols. This can certainly include times when you need an industrial burn kit or a similar first aid item.

Also, do your staff know how to use your burn equipment properly? Regular training and reminders are vital, even when your burn equipment is up to date and stored and signposted in a central location.

It may not just be your first aid staff who require this level of insight, as other employees may need to know exactly what to do when using items from your burn equipment kit.

This can be a time-critical workplace injury, and the speedy application of specialist burn cooling pads can reduce the scarring that can occur from this kind of accident. A confident and quick application of burn aid gel and burn relief dressing can also manage the injured person’s discomfort while awaiting a trip to hospital, for example.

However, there is also a need for the first responder (or individual self-administering your burn control equipment) to take a moment to assess the situation. The injured person needs to be moved to a safe place, and then the cause of the wound must be considered, before burn relief becomes the top priority.

Assessing workplace burns


Did you know that the most common types of burns in the workplace are thermal burns, chemical burns and electrical burns? Do your first aiders and other staff know what is the best pain relief gel for each type of accident, and what other burn equipment to use for each type of injury?

This knowledge can be crucial, as there are different ways to approach some wounds. The prescribed burn equipment should be used for accidental contact with naked flames or hot surfaces, for instance.

Chemical burns can look superficial and like they simply require burn gel application, but can in fact continue to cause internal damage if not treated properly. Therefore, authentic control burn equipment stores would include a sterile substance to flush out the wound, before burn pain relief products are applied.

Scalds and burns from hot water and steam can be a workplace risk, but there are even burn pain relief products that address sunburn, for workers who are outdoors a great deal.

Lastly, the degree of the burn can impact the treatment dispensed before medical professionals arrive to treat someone following an accident in the workplace. For instance, if someone has an electrical burn, along with using burn gel for the contact wound, it is crucial to check the person’s airway, circulation and cognitive abilities.

Knowing how to stock your burn equipment kit


Beyond making sure that you find a supplier of affordable, high-quality burn treatment products, you need to ensure that the stocks you hold cover all eventualities you may encounter as an employer.

Risk assessments, the proper PPE and the essential training mentioned above will all help you to identify your crucial burn unit equipment.

Don’t forget to introduce regular checks to make sure that your burn treatment equipment is still where it needs to be, in-date and ready for when an incident occurs. Stocking the best burn relief gel is great, but not if the seal is broken and your burn relief ointment is no longer sterile and fit for purpose.

Equally, having a burn treatment dressing that is too small for the area of concern is unwise, and requires that you keep a good range of dressing sizes within your essential burn equipment kit.
