A First Aid Kit on the wall doesn't mean you're compliant
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide suitable first aid equipment at all times. The key word is suitable - and an out-of-date, half-empty, or incorrectly stocked kit doesn't meet that standard. Many businesses only find out they're not compliant after an incident has already happened.
- HSE requires first aid kits to be appropriate to the number of employees and level of risk
- Kits must be checked regularly and restocked promptly - not just bought and forgotten
- Expired dressings and empty kits create real risk and potential legal liability
- BS 8599-1 specifies exactly which items must be in workplace kits at each size
- AEDs should be considered for workplaces with 50+ staff or increased cardiac risk
- First aid kit locations must be clearly marked and accessible to all employees at all times
