What should a basic first aid kit contain?

A basic first aid kit should contain plasters in assorted sizes, sterile dressings, bandages, triangular bandages, adhesive tape, disposable gloves, cleansing wipes, scissors and a first aid guidance leaflet. Workplace kits should also meet the relevant BS 8599-1 or HSE requirements for the number of people on site.

What is the difference between first aid supplies and a first aid kit?

A first aid kit is a ready-assembled collection of supplies in a bag, box or cabinet, while first aid supplies refers to the individual items such as dressings, bandages, plasters and tape that you can buy separately to build or restock a kit.

How often should first aid supplies be replaced?

Check first aid supplies regularly and restock used items immediately. Many sterile dressings and consumables carry expiry dates, so kits should be inspected at least every few months and any out-of-date items replaced.
