Combines passenger-carrying vehicle first aid provision with a fire extinguisher in a single Evolution format bundle for coaches, minibuses, and PSV-licensed vehicles.
Compliance Summary: This kit provides first aid provision for vehicle and travel use. While there is no legal requirement for private vehicles to carry a first aid kit in the UK, it is strongly recommended by road safety organisations. Employers should assess vehicle first aid needs under HSE Driving at Work guidance for staff who drive as part of their duties.
Is a fire extinguisher required on a PCV?
Fire extinguisher requirements for passenger-carrying vehicles depend on the vehicle class and operating licence conditions. Many PSV licences require a fire extinguisher to be carried alongside first aid equipment. Check your specific licence conditions with the traffic commissioner.
What does PCV stand for?
PCV stands for Passenger Carrying Vehicle - a vehicle designed to carry more than 8 passengers. PCV operators require specific licensing and must comply with the PSV Regulations 1981 regarding first aid equipment, fire extinguishers, and other safety provision.
