Q: How many people does this kit cover?
A: It is a single person kit, stocked for one worker. Most items come one of each, with ten plasters and four wipes. For a team or a fixed first aid point, choose a workplace kit.

A: No standard is stated for this kit. If your needs assessment or a client contract calls for a BS 8599-1 travel kit, check with our team before ordering.
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. The 250ml eyewash is for grit and dust, not for chemical splashes that need longer rinsing at an eye wash station. It is not designed for serious trauma.
Q: How is this different from the 1 person travel pouch?

A: Keep it in the cab, glovebox or door pocket where the driver can reach it quickly. Avoid the dashboard, where sunlight can heat the eyewash and sterile packs. Tell the driver where it is before they set off.
Q: How do I keep the kit ready to use?
A: Check it monthly and after every use. Replace the eyewash as soon as it has been opened. Remove anything past its expiry date or with damaged packaging.
