It holds a large dressing, triangular bandages, plasters, cleansing wipes, safety pins and a pair of vinyl gloves. It gives drivers, lone workers and staff away from base basic first aid for cuts and minor injuries.
A workplace first aid kit stays at the depot, office or welfare cabin. A driver or lone worker who gets a cut on the road then has nothing to treat it with. A one person pouch travels in the van, car or work bag, so first aid goes wherever the worker goes.
Stocked for one person: sized for an individual worker, not a team.
Zipped pouch: keeps the contents together in a glovebox, door pocket or work bag.
Large dressing: covers a bigger wound and controls bleeding until help arrives.
Two triangular bandages: make a sling or hold a dressing in place.
Six safety pins: secure bandages and slings without tape.
Green pouch with white cross: printed Travel First Aid Kit, so it is easy to find in a vehicle.

Employers issue one person kits to staff who travel for work or work away from a fixed base. They are common in van fleets, utility and telecoms field teams, and maintenance contractors visiting several sites a day. The user is usually the worker themselves, with basic first aid knowledge from the guidance note or training.

Giving mobile engineers first aid for cuts while working at customer premises.

Step 4: Clean minor cuts with a cleansing wipe and cover them with a plaster.
Step 5: For a larger wound, apply the large dressing and hold it with a triangular bandage and safety pins.
Step 6: Report the incident and replace used items straight away.
Sharing one pouch between a team instead of issuing one per person or vehicle.
Using the pouch as the main first aid kit for a workplace.
Leaving used items unreplaced after an incident.
Storing the pouch somewhere the worker cannot reach quickly.
Using a large dressing for a minor cut, leaving nothing for a serious wound.
For serious injuries, call 999 first. Wear gloves before touching any wound and dispose of used items safely. The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to assess first aid needs, including for staff who travel or work alone.
Check the pouch monthly and after every use. Replace used items and anything past its expiry date or with damaged packaging. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight on a dashboard.
Q: What is a one person travel first aid kit for?
A: It gives one worker basic first aid away from their main workplace. It covers cuts, grazes and larger wounds until help arrives. Employers usually issue one to each driver, lone worker or vehicle.
Q: What does 1 Person mean on a first aid kit?
A: It means the kit is stocked for one person to use. The quantities suit an individual worker, not a team. For a group or a fixed first aid point, choose a workplace kit sized by headcount.
Q: Is this kit made to BS 8599-1?
A: No standard is stated for this kit. BS 8599-1 has its own travel kit with a longer contents list. If your needs assessment calls for a British Standard kit, choose a BS 8599-1 kit instead.
Q: What is this kit not suitable for?
A: It is not a workplace first aid kit for a team or a fixed first aid point. It has no burn dressing or eye pad, so add a burns kit or eye wash where those risks exist. It is not designed for serious trauma.
Q: Should I choose this pouch or a van first aid kit?
A: This pouch suits one person and is small enough to carry in a bag. A van first aid kit usually holds more items for vehicle-based work. Choose by how many people it must cover and where it will be kept.
Q: Where should a travel first aid kit be kept?
A: Keep it where the worker can reach it quickly, such as a glovebox, door pocket or work bag. Avoid places it could be crushed or left in strong sunlight. Tell the worker where it is before they set off.
Q: How often should the pouch be checked?
A: Check it monthly and after every use. Replace used plasters, wipes and dressings straight away. Remove anything past its expiry date or with damaged packaging.
