Bibliography

Describes requirements for the compilation of first aid components in small, medium, large or travel first aid kits for use in a workplace environment.

This part of BS8599 specifies requirements for the compilation of first aid components in small, medium, large or travel first aid kits for use in a workplace environment. Requirements are also given for the container holding the components.

NOTE1 Workplace first aid kits can be complemented by other items that have been identified during a hazard assessment if necessary. Where there are unusual hazards that are specific to a particular undertaking or workplace environment, such as the use of hydrofluoric acid, workplace first aid kits should be supplemented with additional, appropriate components.

NOTE2 AnnexA gives recommendations on the amount and size of the first aid kits necessary for different workplace environments based on the category of risk and the number of employees at the workplace.
