How do I choose the right first aid kit for my industry?

Start with a first aid needs assessment for your workplace, which considers the hazards in your sector, the number of employees and how spread out or remote your site is. A low-risk environment such as an office needs different provision to a higher-risk site like a construction site, factory or commercial kitchen. Shopping by sector helps you quickly find kits and equipment matched to the typical risks of your industry.

What first aid supplies do UK workplaces legally need?

Under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, every UK employer must provide adequate and appropriate first aid equipment, facilities and trained personnel. The exact contents depend on your workplace risk assessment, but workplace first aid kits commonly follow the British Standard BS 8599-1. Higher-risk sectors typically require larger kits, additional equipment and more trained first aiders.

Why does first aid provision differ between sectors?

Different sectors face different injury risks. Construction and forestry carry a higher risk of serious wounds and trauma, catering involves burns and cuts, and offices mainly deal with minor injuries. Tailoring your first aid supplies to your sector ensures you hold the right equipment to treat the most likely injuries and meet your legal duty of care.
