How often should I replace my first aid kit contents?

You should check first aid kits regularly and replace any items that have been used or have passed their expiry date. Many workplaces carry out a monthly visual check and restock with a matched refill pack to stay compliant with HSE guidance.

What is the difference between an HSE and a BS 8599-1 refill?

HSE refills follow the older Health and Safety Executive contents list and are sized by number of people (for example 1, 10, 20 or 50 person). BS 8599-1 refills follow the current British Standard and come in small, medium and large sizes with a wider range of contents. Choose the refill that matches the standard your existing kit was supplied to.

Can I just buy a refill instead of a whole new first aid kit?

Yes. If your case or bag is still in good condition, a refill pack is a quick and cost-effective way to restock used or expired items and keep your kit compliant, rather than buying a complete new kit.

Which refill do I need for my workplace?

Match the refill to your existing kit's standard and size. For HSE kits, choose the refill for your number of employees; for BS 8599-1 kits, choose small, medium or large based on your risk assessment and headcount. If you are unsure, contact our team for advice.

First aid kit refills and restock packs to keep your kit compliant and ready. Used or expired first aid supplies should be replaced promptly - a depleted kit can leave your workplace non-compliant and your team unprotected when an injury happens.

At Jax First Aid we supply refill packs for all the most common first aid kit types, so you can top up rather than replace the whole kit. The range includes HSE refills sized by headcount (1, 10, 20 and 50 person), BS 8599-1 (BSI) small, medium and large refills, lone worker and travel refills, PSV (Public Service Vehicle) refills, and sports first aid refills for adults and juniors.

Restocking with a matched refill keeps your provision aligned with UK Health and Safety (HSE) guidance and the BS 8599-1 standard, and is a quick, cost-effective way to maintain compliance after a first aid kit check or audit. All orders ship fast across the UK, with bulk discounts, purchase orders and instant credit available for businesses, schools, fleets and organisations managing multiple kits.
