FAQs

Does this kit meet legal requirements?

Yes, this kit is fully compliant with the BS 8599-1:2019 standard for workplace first aid in the UK.

How many people does this kit cover?

This medium kit is designed to cover environments with 25 to 100 people.

Why are the plasters blue?

Blue plasters are a food industry standard because they are easily detectable if they fall into food during preparation.

Are the contents sterile?

Yes, all dressings, wipes, and medical components come in sealed, sterile packaging. Do not use if the seal is broken.

Should I store this inside a walk-in freezer?

No, you should store the kit in a cool, dry, and accessible place at room temperature. Extreme cold or heat can damage the medical components.

Can I add my own medicine to the kit?

It is generally advised not to store medication in a first aid kit to avoid risks of misuse or cross-contamination; adhere strictly to the list provided by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Missing contents after an emergency

Inventory the kit against the included contents leaflet and order specific refill packs to restore compliance.

Adhesive on plasters not sticking well

Check the expiration date on the packaging. Adhesives can degrade if stored in environments with high humidity or extreme heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal performance, mount the kit in a location that is central to the kitchen or staff area, ensuring it is clearly labeled with a first aid sign. It is important to perform a quarterly audit of the contents to ensure no items have reached their expiration date, particularly the sterile wipes and dressings. Keep the kit away from heat sources like ovens or grills to prevent the degradation of adhesive materials and the sterile integrity of the contents. If a component is used, it should be restocked immediately with BS 8599-1 compliant refills to ensure the kit remains legal for workplace use.
