Compliance Summary: This kit provides the highest tier of BS 8599-1:2019 provision in a portable format. Suited to large or dispersed workplaces where appointed first aiders need to carry maximum provision across a wide area.
Who should carry the large haversack kit?
The large haversack is typically assigned to senior appointed first aiders or first aid coordinators responsible for covering large areas. On construction sites, in warehousing, or across campus-style workplaces, the haversack enables the first aider to bring maximum provision directly to the incident location.
Should I use haversack kits alongside fixed wall-mounted kits?
Yes. HSE guidance recommends a combination of fixed and portable first aid provision for large or dispersed sites. Wall-mounted kits provide accessible coverage at fixed locations, while haversack kits enable first aiders to respond to incidents in areas beyond the reach of the nearest fixed kit.
