What’s New?As can be seen from the table of contents opposite the new BS-8599-1 Compliant Workplace First Aid Kit content is significantly more comprehensive than the old kit content.

The new products included in the BS-8599-1 Compliant Workplace First Aid Kits are as follows:

Saline Cleansing WipesThe new Saline Wipes allow for use on an open wound, whereas the old non alcohol wipe could only be used to cleanse unbroken skin.

Microporous Tape

Multipurpose, comfortable paper tape with a microporous, non-woven backing and low allergy adhesive. Used for securing dressings.

Nitrile GlovesNitrile Gloves are latex free and offer a far superior glove in terms of both protection, comfort and sensitivity compared with the vinyl glove in the old kit content. Our Nitrile Gloves conform to AQL 1.5, CE Class 1 Medical Grade and are in compliance with BS EN 455.

Finger DressingThis is a new dressing added to the new kit content. This dressing is used on small cuts to fingers. It comprises of a small low adherent pad attached to a conforming bandage.

Resuscitation Face Shield

The Resuscitation Face Shield includes a one way valve and provides a hygienic barrier when giving mouth to mouth resuscitation, minimising the risk of cross infection.

Foil BlanketIdeal for retaining & maintaining body heat in cold conditions and in the treatment of injuries and patients suffering from shock.

Burn DressingBurns dressings cool the burn injury without any pre-cooling with water or any other medium. The dressing does not dry out within one hour of application.

Tufkut ShearsTufkut shears are blunt ended scissors which allow the cutting of dressings/ bandages but can also be used to safely remove items of clothing.

Conforming BandageThis can be used as a form of retention and also offer light support.

Eye WashSterile Sodium Chloride 0.9% solution can be used for eye and wound irrigation where access to water may not be available.




First Aid Kits


Which Kitdo I require?Similar to the old HSE kits the content of the new BS-8599-1 Compliant Workplace First Aid Kits are appropriate for use based on a combination of the risk of the workplace and the number of employees and visitors.

The table below can be used as a guide to ascertain which compliant kit you require for your workplace - please note that it is the duty of the employer to make an assessment of the first aid needs appropriate to the circumstances of your workplace and the below acts as a guide only.

Where there are special circumstances, such as remoteness from emergency medical services, shiftwork or sites with several separate buildings, there might need to be more first aid kits than set out in Table 2.
