Safety First Aid Group economy first aid kit – medium, BS 8599 compliant
This medium first aid kit is a sensible, no-nonsense pick when you need basic workplace cover. Built to the BS 8599 (2019 guidance), it contains the essentials most medium-sized workplaces and communal areas will need to deal with minor injuries and to stabilise more serious ones until professional help arrives. The case is light but robust, so you won’t be faffing about with fragile boxes when every second counts.
Practical case and design
The kit is housed in a thick-walled polypropylene case with an integral hinge, secure black clips and a comfortable carry handle. It’s clearly marked with a “First Aid” label and a white cross for quick identification in an emergency. If you prefer it fixed to a wall, it fits the KI502 wall bracket for easy access — handy for corridors, receptions or workshop areas.
What’s in the kit and who it helps
Contents are selected to meet the needs of medium-risk environments. It’s a great starter kit for offices, workshops, schools, clubs and even for households that want a bit more reassurance. Typical situations this kit helps with include small cuts and grazes, larger wounds needing dressings, minor burns, splinters and basic eye injuries. There are also items to keep a casualty warm or protected until further help arrives.
- First aid leaflet — handy for quick guidance when you’re attending a casualty.
- 12 x 12 cm dressings (x4) and 18 x 18 cm dressings (x3) for covering wounds.
- Triangular bandages (x3) and conforming bandages 7.5 cm (x2) to support limbs or secure dressings.
- Eye dressings (x3), burn dressings 10 x 10 cm (x2), and finger dressings (x3).
- Washproof plasters (x60), sterile wipes (x30) and microporous tape 2.5 cm x 5 m (x2) to keep dressings in place.
- Nitrile glove pairs (x9), face shield (x1), foil blankets (x2) and clothing cutters (x1) for safe, hygienic treatment.
Dimensions and specs
Approximate size: 27 x 22 x 9 cm. Weight: around 970 g — compact enough to sit on a shelf, in a reception area or in a vehicle glovebox. The case has no internal partitions, which makes contents easy to see and grab quickly. It’s built tough for everyday workplace use.
Why choose this kit?
If you need to meet British Standard recommendations without breaking the bank, this kit is a practical choice. It’s well stocked with common items, easy to carry to a casualty and simple to top up. For higher-risk sites, carry out a risk assessment and consider additional supplies or a larger kit, but for many medium workplaces this will cover the basics nicely.
Refills and extras
Refill items and replacement kits are available from Safety First Aid Group, so topping up used items is straightforward. If your site needs specialist materials, check the contents list against your requirements and add any extras as necessary.
Overall, a practical, compliant and well-presented medium first aid kit that makes it easier to be prepared without any fuss — a proper bonus when incidents crop up outside of normal hours.
