Offering a one-stop solution for many offices, catering environments and smaller businesses, our Workplace First Aid Bundles are a quick and easy solution to ensure you are inline with British Standards BS8599 and conform with RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) processes. Available in medium and large these bundles include BS8599 basic components in aura case, A5 sign, accident reporting book, and usage guide.

Many specialised working environments require more specialised equipment. For example a factory incident response pack may include additional components such as saline - perfect for treating minor vision ailments as well as safely flushing wounds. With this in mind, Seton’s BS First Aid Kit and Eye Wash Bundles offer a cost-effective way to protect your team with these medium and large industrial support bundles.

Some workplaces carry higher risks than others. For example a person working in industrial and construction environments will need specific supplies less required in other occupations. A suitably equipped high risk incident support package such as our Construction First Aid Kit provides a convenient money-saving bundle to help building sites comply with strict legal guidance. Designed for 11-20 people, our Construction First Aid Kit includes a UK legally-approved medical kit, signage, poster as well as saline wash pods - perfect for builders, electricians, plumbers and more.

Not all employees carry out their duties in the same place every day, many travel to different sites on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. With this in mind you may need medical supplies for any person using company vehicles. From the team truck to a fleet of vans or taxis, it is important to ensure your driver's care supplies are suitably accessible and fully stocked. Make sure the team driving your business have appropriate travel emergency supplies available with our range of Car First Aid Kits.

Some individuals operate in small teams, or even alone, possibly even at home. With this in mind it is important to ensure they are sufficiently protected. With this in mind the Personal Issue First Aid Kit is perfectly suited for any single person in occupations such as security guards, event or production runners, assistants and hotel porters.

It is especially important that any adults working with children, such as childminders and nursery staff, are suitably prepared for the accidents and injuries that come with this line of expertise. Our range of School First Aid Kits are perfect for any environment involving junior patients.

Your risk-assessment might identify a high risk of trauma-level incidents such as chemical burns or severe blood-loss. If you need to equip a laboratory or other school chemistry lab, our Deluxe Chemical Splash Kit includes specially formulated solutions to quickly neutralise both acid and alkali compounds. Additionally our Bleeding Control Kit and Forestry First Aid Kit are specially designed to be easy to use and quickly treat injuries involving severe bleeding.

What should be in a workplace first aid kit?

As a rule your risk assessment will indicate what sort of accidents and injuries might occur in your place of business and, as such, contents of 1st responder packages for the environment in question will vary slightly. For instance you may stock a high risk incident response bundle in areas of increased dangers. Similarly a warehouse quick response pack may contain some additional components that are not included in an office or hotel package.

While there are no mandatory components, there are some recommended essentials and accessories which should always be stocked in all your provisions;

  • Guidance leaflet
  • Assorted plasters
  • Sterile ocular pads
  • Triangular bandages
  • Safety pins
  • Wound dressings
  • Gloves

What does the law say?

In the UK, the HSE provides specific guidelines around what should be included in a commercial incident response setup as well as the placement of the same.

The UK authority advises that the first port of call is a risk assessment. The findings from this will then largely dictate the quantity and type of equipment that needs to be in the working environment. From a legal perspective the minimum requirement is a suitable stocked rapid response case, bag or pack.

For example it is recommended that tablets and medicines, such as aspirin, should not be kept in the commercial 1st responder kit, however accessories such as gloves are considered essential.

Similarly there is a regulatory legal benchmark for professional emergency products, often referred to as BS8599.

Many of Seton’s professional grade products and accessories meet or exceed the guidelines set out by the UK Health and Safety Executive as well as BS8599.

Which workplace first aid kit is best for my work?

When considering which product is best suited to your needs, it is important to consider a number of factors. Primarily the type of worksite and any specific risks identified by your risk assessment.

For example if your team frequently works with or in the vicinity of corrosive chemicals, we recommend our Chemical Splash Kit.

For those working in the construction industry and other sites involving heavy machinery we would strongly recommend our Construction Site First Aid Kit whereas an industrial or factory specific package may include our Bleeding Control Kit.

Other business environments, such as for mobile team-members working in/from company vehicles require a Car First Aid Kit, while for those working in an office, our Office First Aid Kit is better suited.

How many first aid kits should a workplace have?

While the UK has a legal entity that provides guidance to businesses regarding employee welfare; one of the questions you may be asking yourself is;

Are first aid kits mandatory at work?

The minimum requirements for professional first-aid in the UK is one suitably stocked supplies bag. While it is encouraged to supply teams with more than sufficient 1st responder supplies, the exact number of packs required will largely depend on the risk assessment you have carried out.

Where should I place first aid kits at work?

Where you choose to place incident response products in the working environment is equally as important as deciding which components are right for your team and industry.

As you might have guessed, where accident support packages are placed should be decided after conducting a full risk assessment of the area in question. As a rule, any worksite welfare kit should be installed in an area that is easy for all employees to access quickly, following an accident. You can also help your team find their nearest equipment station with suitable signage.

How often do business first aid kits need replacing?

Despite official guidelines for many aspects of employee safety, however, when it comes to 1st responder supplies, there is not an official timetable for contents to be replaced, unless they are expired.

“Although there is no specified review timetable, many items, particularly sterile ones, are marked with expiry dates. They should be replaced by the dates given and expired items disposed of safely. In cases where sterile items have no dates, it would be advisable to check with the manufacturers to find out how long they can be kept. For non-sterile items without dates, it is a matter of judgement, based on whether they are fit for purpose.”

As general guidance, we advise all medical supplies should be inspected regularly, including the box or bag itself. Any used accessories, such as gloves and bandages should be replenished, along with any that are past their expiry date.

Seton offers Tamper-proof First Aid Inspection Labels to allow you and your team to quickly identify used elements that need a supply top up and those due to be inspected.

What else do I need?

Now that you have your commercial medical support in place, do your team know where to find them when they are needed most?

It is important that you have the correct signage in place denoting where the accident support is located on the worksite. By ensuring everyone knows where to go to find help and supplies, not only improves recovery following an incident, but boosts morale and drives efficiency.

Many of our pre-built packages, including the Construction Site First Aid Kit and Workplace First Aid Bundles include signage that can be quickly and easily installed. Need something slightly different or more specific? Seton offers a full range of first aid location signs in sizes and styles to suit your needs.

A number of our business-specific accident support packages are easily wall-mounted when combined with our First Aid Wall Bracket - simply fit the bracket to a suitable surface and rest the box onto the outstretched handles.

Some packages, such as our British Standard Compliant Deluxe First Aid Kits come with their own bulkhead fixing brackets, while our Small Deluxe First Aid Wall Station is designed to be exclusively surface mounted.

Having all the equipment is great but does your team know how to use it? Many of our pre-built packages include a First Aid Guide. This leaflet is full of information about how to use the tools and accessories supplied in our kits. It is however a good idea to stock up on a few spare copies, as in an emergency situation, those included could easily become lost or damaged.
