A 10 person first aid kit stocked with HSE workplace kit contents for work areas with up to 10 employees. Dressings, eye pads, triangular bandages, plasters, wipes, safety pins and gloves are packed in a green plastic carry case with a handle and clip latches. It covers everyday cuts, bleeding and eye injuries in small offices, shops and workshops.
How a Ready-Stocked Kit Avoids Gaps in a Small Workplace
Small businesses often build a first aid box from odd plasters and bandages bought over time. When an injury happens, the eye pad or large dressing that is needed is missing. This kit arrives stocked with every item type on HSE’s suggested minimum list, so nothing basic is left out.
Key Features
-
Stocked for up to 10 people: quantities sized for a small work area or team.
-
Every item type on HSE’s suggested list: dressings, eye pads, triangular bandages, plasters, safety pins, gloves and a guidance note.
-
Six medium and two large dressings: covers more than one wound, or a larger bleed.
-
Four triangular bandages: make slings or hold dressings in place.
-
Two eye pad dressings: cover an injured eye until medical help arrives.
-
Green case with white cross and handle: easy to spot at the first aid point and quick to carry to the casualty.

Common mistakes
-
Using one 10 person kit for a team that has grown beyond 10.
-
Assuming this kit meets a BS 8599-1 requirement.
-
Running out of gloves, as the kit holds one pair.
-
Keeping sterile items past their expiry date.
-
Relying on eye pads alone where dust or chemicals could reach the eyes.
Safety
Only trained first aiders or appointed persons should treat casualties. Wear gloves for every treatment and dispose of used items safely. For serious injuries, call 999 first. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate first aid, based on their own needs assessment.
Maintenance
Check the kit monthly and after every use. Replace used items and anything past its expiry date or with damaged packaging. Keep spare gloves nearby, as the kit holds one pair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who is a 10 person first aid kit for?
A: It suits work areas with up to 10 employees, such as small offices, shops and workshops. It gives an appointed person or first aider the basic items for everyday injuries. Larger teams need a bigger kit or more kits.
Q: What does 10 Person mean on a first aid kit?
A: It means the kit is stocked for a work area of up to 10 employees. It is guidance on quantities, not a legal limit. Your first aid needs assessment decides how many kits you need and what they should hold.
Q: Is this kit HSE approved?
A: HSE does not approve or certify first aid kits. Its guidance L74 gives a suggested minimum list of items for workplace kits. This kit holds every item type on that list, in quantities for up to 10 people.
Q: What is this kit not suitable for?
A: It is not a BS 8599-1 kit, so it does not meet a British Standard requirement. It has no burn dressing, foil blanket or eye wash. It is not sized for teams of more than 10, or for vehicles and travelling workers.
Q: Should I choose an HSE kit or a BS 8599-1 kit?
A: An HSE workplace kit covers HSE’s suggested minimum items. A BS 8599-1 kit adds items such as burn dressings, foil blankets and scissors. Choose by your needs assessment, and by whether your client or contract asks for BS 8599-1.
Q: Can I use this kit in a site office?
A: Yes, where the needs assessment shows HSE workplace contents are enough for the team. Construction work is often assessed as higher hazard, and many principal contractors ask for BS 8599-1 kits. Check site rules before choosing.
Q: How do I keep the kit fully stocked?
A: Check it monthly and after every use against the contents list. Replace used plasters, wipes and dressings straight away. Keep spare gloves with the kit, as it holds one pair.
