Compliance Summary: This cabinet is stocked to BS 8599-1:2019 and provides secure, organised storage for workplace first aid provision. The lockable design protects contents from contamination and unauthorised access while the clear First Aid marking ensures rapid identification.
Why choose a cabinet over a standard first aid case?
A first aid cabinet provides secure, permanent wall-mounted storage with protection from dust, moisture, and tampering. Cabinets are suited to workshops, kitchens, warehouses, and public-facing environments where a portable case might be moved, damaged, or have contents removed. The lockable design ensures contents remain complete and sterile.
Should the cabinet be locked during working hours?
HSE guidance requires that first aid equipment is readily accessible to all employees during working hours. If the cabinet is locked, the key should be held by an appointed first aider or kept in a clearly marked location nearby. Some workplaces leave cabinets unlocked during working hours and lock them outside operating times.
