British Standard BS8599 First Aid Kits

Welcome to our comprehensive range of British Standard BS8599 first aid kits, designed to keep you prepared and safe in any situation. Whether it's for your workplace, or on-the-go, our small, medium, and large kits are your trusted companions for handling emergencies with confidence.

BS8599 sets the gold standard for first aid kits in the UK, ensuring they are fit for purpose and up-to-date with the latest first aid guidelines. The size required is determined by the number of employees in the workplace and how hazardous the environment is. Here’s an overview of the British standard guidelines:

Low hazard workplaces (shops, offices, etc)
Less than 25 employees: one small first aid kit
25-100 employees: one medium first aid kit
More than 100 employees: one large first aid kit per 100 employees

High hazard workplaces (assembly work, food processing, etc)
Less than 5 employees: one small first aid kit
5-25 employees: one medium first aid kit
More than 25 employees: one large first aid kit per 25 employees

British Standard BS8599-1 was improved in 2019 to also include specifications for travel and vehicle first aid kits, personal issue first aid kits and critical injury kits. We offer all of these types of British Standard compliant kits.
