Compliance Summary: This cabinet provides the highest tier of BS 8599-1:2019 provision in a secure wall-mounted format. The lockable steel cabinet is suited to high-traffic locations, dedicated first aid rooms, and environments where secure storage of maximum-quantity provision is required.
Where should the large cabinet be positioned?
Position the cabinet in a central, clearly signed location accessible to all employees - typically a main corridor, staff room, or dedicated first aid room. HSE guidance recommends that the location is visible to staff during their daily routine so it is remembered in an emergency. For multi-floor buildings, at least one cabinet per floor is recommended.
Is the large cabinet suitable for a first aid room?
Yes. The large cabinet provides organised, secure storage of maximum BS 8599-1 provision and is commonly used as the primary storage unit in dedicated first aid rooms. The two internal shelves allow contents to be arranged for rapid access during treatment, and the lockable design secures the contents when the room is unattended.
