Log in to access trade discountsA vehicle first aid kit/ van kits holds the basics for treating minor injuries on the road, in a hard plastic case with a carry handle. The case clips onto a wall bracket that is fixed inside the cab, so the kit stays in one place. It carries plasters, dressings, bandages, cleansing wipes and scissors for cuts, grazes and wounds.
A loose first aid kit slides around a cab and often ends up under a seat or behind kit and paperwork. When someone is hurt, time goes on searching for it. Fixing the case to its wall bracket keeps it in the same visible spot, ready to lift off and carry to the casualty.
Wall bracket for cab mounting: holds the kit in a fixed, visible place inside the vehicle.
Hard plastic case: protects the contents from knocks, dust and spills in the cab.
Carry handle: lift the case off the bracket and carry it to the casualty.
Washproof plasters and HSE dressing: cover small cuts and larger bleeding wounds.
Triangular and conforming bandages: make slings and hold dressings in place.
Alcohol free cleansing wipes: clean around wounds without stinging.

Fleet managers fit vehicle first aid kits across HGV, van and car fleets, one kit per vehicle. Drivers who work away from base use them for minor injuries on the road, at delivery points and on site. The leaflet inside guides people without first aid training.
Equipping every HGV cab in a haulage fleet with a mounted kit.
Fitting first aid kits to tradespeople’s vans.
Treating cuts and grazes from loading, unloading and securing loads.
Giving delivery drivers first aid cover when working away from base.
Keeping a kit in pool cars and site vehicles.
Step 1: Fix the wall bracket inside the cab, where the driver can reach it easily and it does not block controls or airbags.
Step 2: Clip the case onto the bracket.
Step 3: In an emergency, make the scene safe and call 999 if needed.
Step 4: Lift the kit off the bracket and follow the first aid leaflet.
Step 5: Restock anything used before the vehicle goes back on the road.
Keeping the kit loose in the footwell or behind seats.
Mounting the bracket where it blocks controls, mirrors or airbags.
Driving on with a half-empty kit after an incident.
Expecting the kit to cover eye injuries, when no eye wash is included.
Using this kit on buses and coaches, which need a PSV kit.
Make the scene safe before giving first aid, especially at the roadside. Call 999 for serious injuries. Employers should assess first aid needs for drivers working away from base, as set out in HSE guidance.
Check the kit during routine vehicle checks. Replace used or damaged items and anything past its expiry date. Keep the case closed and clean.
Q: Do HGVs and vans legally need a first aid kit?
A: UK law does not require HGVs, vans or cars to carry a first aid kit. Buses and coaches are different, as PSV regulations set what they must carry. Employers must still make first aid arrangements for staff who drive for work, under the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981.
Q: What is in the vehicle first aid kit?
A: It holds 2 envelopes of 10 washproof plasters, an HSE 18cm x 18cm dressing, triangular and conforming bandages, 6 cleansing wipes, low adherent pads, tape, fingerstalls, safety pins, scissors and a first aid leaflet. The full list is in the Specifications tab.
Q: Is this a BS 8599-2 kit?
A: The kit is not stated as BS 8599-2, the British Standard for motor vehicle first aid kits. If your fleet policy requires a BS 8599-2 kit, choose one marked to that standard.
Q: What is this kit not suitable for?
A: It is not for buses and coaches, which need a PSV kit. It has no eye wash, so add eye wash pods if drivers face dust or splashes. It is not meant as the main kit for a workplace or site.
Q: Why choose a hard case kit with a bracket over a pouch?
A: A pouch suits a glovebox or pocket for one person. A hard case on a bracket stays fixed in the cab and protects the contents from knocks and spills. It suits vehicles that are shared or used every day.
Q: Where should the bracket go in the cab?
A: Fix it where the driver can reach it easily, such as the bulkhead or behind a seat. Keep it clear of controls, mirrors and airbags.
Q: Do I need a first aid kit to drive abroad?
A: Some European countries require vehicles to carry a first aid kit. Check the rules for each country before travelling.
