What is a BS 8599-2 vehicle first aid kit?

BS 8599-2 is the British Standard that specifies the contents of motoring and vehicle first aid kits. Kits come in small, medium and large sizes so you can match the kit to the type and size of vehicle, from cars and vans to HGVs and public service vehicles.

Is a first aid kit a legal requirement in UK vehicles?

There is no blanket legal requirement for a first aid kit in a private UK car, but employers have a duty of care under health and safety law to provide first aid for staff who drive for work. Many fleet operators, PSVs and commercial vehicles are required to carry a compliant kit, and BS 8599-2 kits are widely specified to meet this.

Which first aid kit do I need for an HGV or PSV?

Larger commercial vehicles such as HGVs and public service vehicles typically require a larger BS 8599-2 kit or a dedicated HGV/PSV kit. We supply kits sized for each vehicle type so you can meet operator and audit requirements.

Do you supply first aid kits for vehicle fleets in bulk?

Yes. We offer bulk discounts, purchase orders and instant credit for fleets, logistics companies and transport operators. Contact our team for a tailored quote for multiple vehicles.
