According to the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981, workplaces, such as construction sites, must have a first aid kit with sufficient equipment to cater for the number of workers on the site.
You should carry out assessments of first-aid needs in the workplace and determine what equipment and facilities have to be provided. You need to consider relevant factors, including the overall size of the organisation and workplace hazards and risks.
Make sure to carry out risk assessments first to determine the contents of your first aid kit. But here are some items, which are essential in a basic first-aid kit when work activities are low-risk:
- Disposable gloves
- Sterile plasters
- Eye pads
- Bandages and dressings
- HSE's leaflet with general guidance on first aid
We offer a First-Aid Guidance Leaflet that offers basic advice on first aid for use in an emergency at work.
You are also recommended to include scissors, tweezers and safety pins in basic first aid kits. In particular, tweezers aid the removal of splinters and help clean wounds.
To dispose of sharp tools, we offer the Premium Sharps Disposal Pack, providing everything you need for dealing with used needles, syringes and blades in a safe and efficient way.
Our Saline Wound Cleansing Wipes come in a pack of 100 and are sterile and alcohol-free. This product meets current HSE Regulations, is suitable for all mandatory kits, and is safe for all skin types.
Another excellent recommendation is the Thermal Foil Blanket, which retains more than 90% of radiated body heat and can be used in all weather conditions. This product fulfils the HSE implied duty of care to protect people for whom you have responsibility.
You must ensure to record and send to RIDDOR all reportable incidents, injuries, diseases, and dangerous occurrences.
To help you with this process, we offer a quick and easy system for recording accidents in the workplace which enables data protection compliance. Astroplast’s Accident Book, which is a mandatory requirement for workplaces comes with clear instructions on use and guidance included for record keeping.
Make sure to include dates when reports are made. Also include in your report the date, time, and place of the event and do not forget to write the personal details of those involved.
At Tiger Supplies, you can find a wide variety of First Aid Kits that can be wall-mounted. Therefore, we recommend our Wall Mounting Brackets, which are easy to install and securely hook under kit handles.
