Understanding First Aid Supplies

First aid equipment encompasses a variety of components, each designed to address a range of health-related scenarios. Each item in a first aid kit serves a unique and essential purpose, from sterile items for dressing minor injuries to antiseptics for cleaning wounds.

What should be included in a workplace first aid kit?

According to HSE First Aid in the UK, the basic requirements of a workplace first aid kit may include:

A leaflet giving general guidance on first aid

A leaflet or booklet with instructions on first aid procedures is crucial to every kit. This guide provides clear, step-by-step instructions on handling common injuries and emergencies, making it an invaluable resource, especially for those with minimal first-aid training.

Plasters (assorted sizes)

Plasters, also known as band-aids or adhesive bandages, cover minor cuts, blisters, and abrasions. They help protect the wound from bacteria and debris, speeding up healing. A variety of sizes are included to accommodate different wound sizes.

Eye pads

In the event of an eye injury, eye pads can cover and protect the eye from further damage or contamination. They help to prevent any strain on the eye, facilitating healing.

Triangular bandages

These versatile bandages are commonly used for immobilising limbs, particularly in the case of fractures or dislocations. They can also be used as a makeshift dressing for more significant wounds or a head bandage.

Safety pins

Pins are primarily used to secure bandages or slings. They are also handy for fastening items together in an emergency.

Dressings (assorted sizes)

Dressings are used to cover and protect wounds, helping to control bleeding and prevent infection. The sterile dressings in a first aid kit often come in various sizes to cater to various wound dimensions.

Disposable gloves

Gloves protect first aiders from potential exposure to blood and other bodily fluids, reducing the risk of disease transmission. They also help maintain the sterility of the items applied to the wound.

Tweezers or forceps

Tweezers can safely remove foreign objects from wounds, such as shards of glass, splinters, or insects.

Scissors

A pair of scissors is indispensable in a first aid kit. They can be used for cutting tape, clothing, or bandages and should be sharp enough to cut through fabric swiftly and smoothly.

Alcohol-free cleansing wipes

These are used for cleaning the skin around a wound before dressing it. They help to minimise the risk of wound infection. They are alcohol-free to prevent stinging on open wounds.

Adhesive tape

Adhesive tape is used to secure dressings in place. It's also handy for other uses, such as taping a splint or creating a makeshift bandage in an emergency.

Resuscitation face shield or pocket mask

This equipment is used during CPR to ensure a barrier between the first aider and the casualty, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. It often has a one-way valve to deliver rescue breaths in safety.

Burn dressings

These are special dressings impregnated with a cooling gel that soothes burns and helps to stop the burning process. They are sanitary and non-adhesive to provide relief and protection without sticking to the burn wound.

Foil blankets

Also known as space blankets, these are used to retain body heat in cases of shock or hypothermia. They're made from heat-reflective thin plastic sheeting designed to keep the patient warm and reduce heat loss.

Importance of First Aid kits (Workplace)

Accidents can occur anytime if your business operates in a low-risk or high-risk environment. The swift administration of first aid can drastically reduce the severity of injuries and sometimes be lifesaving.

Do you have to have a first aid kit at work?

HSE guidance and British standards mandate the presence of appropriate first aid equipment in workplaces, making it not only a moral obligation but a legal requirement.

Key features to look for when purchasing First Aid Supplies

When choosing your aid kits, look for British standard-compliant products. They should be able to serve the number of persons in your establishment and suit the specific risks associated with your business. Consider the expiry dates of items in the kit, particularly sterile ones and opt for those with extended shelf life to ensure value for money. Wall-mounted first aid kits can be a good choice for easy emergency access.

What colour are our workplace first aid kits?

In the United Kingdom, the standard colour for a workplace first aid kit is green with a white cross. This is by the British Standard (BS 8599-1:2019), which provides detailed specifications for the contents and colour of workplace first aid kits.

The green colour with a white cross is easily recognisable and is associated universally with first aid. The kit must be visible and accessible in an emergency. It should be noted that the first aid kit's contents should be regularly checked and replenished, and all employees should be aware of its location.

Tailoring your First Aid Kit to your needs

The size of your first aid kit (small, medium, large) should be dictated by the number of employees and guests you serve. You should also consider the nature of potential risks. For instance, a kitchen in a restaurant may require different first aid supplies compared to a hotel reception area. Adjust the contents of your first aid kit to these requirements.
