Compliance Summary: This kit is manufactured to BS 8599-1:2019, the current British Standard for workplace first aid kits. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate first aid equipment appropriate to the circumstances of the workplace.

How many employees does the small BS8599-1 kit cover?
The small kit is designed for low-risk workplaces with fewer than 25 employees, though HSE guidance recommends completing a first aid needs assessment to confirm the appropriate kit size and quantity for your specific environment. Factors including workplace hazards, shift patterns, and site layout may require additional provision beyond the minimum standard.
