It holds gel burn dressings in two sizes, burn blots, low adherent dressings, conforming bandages and three eye wash pods in a red hard case. It treats minor burns and scalds once they have been cooled, and rinses hot splashes from the eyes.
Most workplace first aid kits hold one or two burn dressings, and HSE workplace kits hold none. In a kitchen or hot work area, a second burn or a large scald can leave the first aider with nothing suitable. This kit carries eleven burn dressings and blots in three sizes, so burns of different sizes can be covered after cooling.
Gel burn dressings in two sizes: two 10cm x 10cm and one 20cm x 20cm cover smaller and larger burns.
Eight burn blots: small pads for minor burns on fingers and hands, common in kitchens.
Three eye wash pods: rinse hot liquid or grease splashes from the eyes straight away.
Low adherent dressings: designed to cover burns and wounds with less sticking to the skin.
Three conforming bandages: hold dressings in place on hands, arms and legs.
Red hard case with handle: compact at 13.5cm x 18cm x 7cm, and easy to spot and carry to the casualty.

Employers add a burns kit wherever heat is part of the job, alongside their main first aid kit. It is common in commercial kitchens, site canteens, welding bays and roofing crews. First aiders and kitchen supervisors usually keep it within reach of the hot work.
Keeping burn treatment beside the cooking line in a commercial or staff kitchen.
Covering scalds from urns and kettles in a site canteen or welfare unit.
Treating minor burns in welding, cutting and grinding bays.
Supporting roofing and asphalt crews working with hot materials.
Rinsing hot liquid or fat splashes from the eyes before medical help arrives.
Step 1: Make the area safe and put on the vinyl gloves.
Step 2: Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes, removing jewellery near the burn unless it is stuck.
Step 3: Cover small burns with a burn blot, and larger burns with a 10cm x 10cm or 20cm x 20cm burn dressing.
Step 4: Hold the dressing in place with a conforming bandage or microporous tape.
Step 5: For splashes to the eye, rinse with an eye wash pod and seek medical help.
Step 6: Call 999 for large, deep, facial, electrical or chemical burns, then record the incident and restock the kit.
Applying a dressing before cooling the burn under running water.
Putting ice, butter or creams on a burn.
Bursting blisters or removing clothing stuck to the burn.
Keeping the kit in an office far from the kitchen or hot work area.
Leaving used dressings and eye wash pods unreplaced.
For serious burns, call 999 first. Follow the instructions printed on each dressing and eye wash pod. Do not use the kit as a substitute for an eye wash station where chemicals are handled. Employers should include burn risks in their first aid needs assessment under the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Check the kit monthly and after every use. Replace used items and anything past its expiry date or with damaged packaging. Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct heat.
Q: What is a burns first aid kit for?
A: It treats minor burns and scalds once they have been cooled, and rinses hot splashes from the eyes. It is kept close to kitchens, canteens and hot work areas. It adds to your main first aid kit, rather than replacing it.
Q: What does Small mean on this burns kit?
A: Small refers to the kit size and quantities, suited to one work area such as a kitchen or welding bay. Busy kitchens or several hot work areas may need more than one kit.
Q: Does this kit meet a British Standard?
A: No standard is stated for this kit. Burns kits are an addition to a workplace first aid kit, based on the risks in your first aid needs assessment.
Q: What is this kit not suitable for?
A: It is not a full workplace first aid kit, so keep one of those as well. It is not for serious, electrical or chemical burns, which need a 999 call. The eye wash pods are for first rinsing, not for prolonged rinsing after chemical splashes.
Q: Why buy a burns kit if my first aid kit has a burn dressing?
A: A BS 8599-1 workplace kit holds one or two burn dressings, and HSE workplace kits hold none. This kit holds eleven burn dressings and blots in three sizes. That covers repeat burns and larger scalds in high risk areas.
Q: How do I treat a burn with this kit?
A: Cool the burn under cool running water for 20 minutes first. Then cover it with a burn blot or burn dressing sized to the burn, and hold it in place with a bandage or tape. Seek medical help for anything other than a minor burn.
Q: Where should the kit be kept?
A: Keep it within a few steps of the hot work, such as beside the cooking line or welding bay. Avoid placing it right next to ovens, fryers or heaters. Make sure staff know where it is.
