Compliance Summary: This kit meets the HSE recommended minimum for workplaces with 21 to 50 employees. For workplaces with over 50 employees, multiple kits should be deployed to maintain adequate coverage across the site.
What if I have more than 50 employees?
For workplaces with over 50 employees, deploy multiple kits across the site. HSE guidance does not specify a single kit size above 50 - instead, provide sufficient kits so that all employees can access first aid within a reasonable time. Your first aid needs assessment should document the number and placement of kits required.
Should I upgrade to a BS 8599-1 kit instead?
BS 8599-1 kits provide a more complete specification with a wider range of items including burn dressings, foil blankets, and resuscitation valves. If your risk assessment identifies hazards beyond basic first aid, or if you prefer enhanced provision above the HSE minimum, consider upgrading to the BS 8599-1 range.
