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 offices, warehouses, workshops and site offices.
A team that grows past 10 people quickly empties a 10 person kit. Dressings and eye pads then run out between restocks, often when they are needed most. The 20 person kit carries more of every item, so one kit keeps pace with a team of up to 20.
Stocked for up to 20 people: quantities sized for a medium 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.
Nine medium and three large dressings: covers several wounds, or a larger bleed, from one kit.
Four eye pad dressings: cover eye injuries in workshops and warehouses where dust is common.
Six triangular bandages: make slings or hold dressings in place for more than one casualty.
Green case with white cross and handle: easy to spot at the first aid point and quick to carry to the casualty.

Employers with teams of 10 to 20 people buy 20 person kits for their main first aid point. They are common in offices, warehouses, workshops, trade counters and site offices. An appointed person or trained first aider usually looks after the kit.
Stocking the first aid point in an office or shop with up to 20 staff.
Equipping a warehouse or stores area with a team of up to 20.
Providing a kit in a workshop or production area where eye injuries from dust are a risk.
Covering a site office and welfare area used by a team of up to 20.
Upgrading from a 10 person kit when a team grows.
Step 1: Check your first aid needs assessment shows a 20 person HSE workplace kit is enough.
Step 2: Place the kit at the first aid point and display a first aid sign.
Step 3: Tell staff where the kit is and who the appointed person or first aider is.
Step 4: In an incident, put on the vinyl gloves before touching any wound, then follow the guidance note.
Step 5: Record each incident and the items used in the accident book.
Step 6: Replace used items straight away.
Keeping one 20 person kit after the team grows beyond 20.
Assuming this kit meets a BS 8599-1 requirement.
Running out of gloves, as the kit holds two pairs.
Keeping sterile items past their expiry date.
Relying on eye pads alone where chemicals could splash into the eyes.
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.
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 for busy first aid points.
Q: Who is a 20 person first aid kit for?
A: It suits work areas with up to 20 employees, such as offices, warehouses and workshops. It gives an appointed person or first aider the basic items for everyday injuries. Teams of more than 20 need a 50 person kit or more kits.
Q: What does 20 Person mean on a first aid kit?
A: It means the kit is stocked for a work area of up to 20 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: Does HSE set the contents of a 20 person kit?
A: HSE does not approve kits or set quantities by headcount. Its guidance L74 gives a suggested minimum list of item types for workplace kits. This kit holds every item type on that list, in the supplier’s quantities for up to 20 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 20, or for vehicles and travelling workers.
Q: Should I choose a 20 person kit or two 10 person kits?
A: One 20 person kit suits a team that works in one area. Two 10 person kits suit a team split between two rooms, floors or buildings. Choose the option that keeps first aid close to everyone.
Q: Is this the same as the medium BS 8599-1 kit?
A: No. Both use a green case of the same size, but the contents differ. The medium BS 8599-1 kit adds burn dressings, foil blankets, scissors and finger dressings. Check the contents table before ordering.
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. Remove anything past its expiry date or with damaged packaging.
