The Evolution travel and motoring first aid kit provides BS 8599-1:2019 compliant provision for off-site employees in a modern Evolution format. Designed for staff who travel or drive as part of their work duties, the kit provides compliant first aid provision in a portable format suited to vehicle storage and travel bags.
Compliance Summary: This kit meets BS 8599-1:2019 for off-site employee provision. Employers are required to provide adequate first aid equipment for all employees, including those who work away from the main workplace, under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
Why does a motoring kit need BS 8599-1 compliance?
BS 8599-1 compliance ensures the kit meets a recognised standard for workplace first aid provision. For employees who drive or travel for work, providing a BS 8599-1 compliant kit demonstrates that the employer has met their statutory duty under the 1981 Regulations, even when the employee is away from the main workplace.
Is this suitable for keeping permanently in a company car?
Yes. The Evolution format is designed for vehicle storage. Keep the kit in the boot or a storage compartment where it is accessible but protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight which could degrade sterile packaging over extended periods.
