Travel First Aid Kits

Travel First Aid Kits Explained

Ensure off-site employees have everything they need by opting for the Standard Travel First Aid Kits. This excellent all-in-one package ticks all the boxes for essential first aid with important products such as plasters, wipes, dressings, a foil blanket, safety pins, nitrile gloves, eye wash and a resuscitation device, in addition to a guidance leaflet for advice and tips. The law requires that employers provide employees away from the workplace with access to first aid on the go in the event of an accident. Therefore, purchasing a comprehensive solution is essential. This kit is available in an anti-rip soft bag, a robust economy box or an aura box with integral wall bracket.

Topping up travel first aid kits can be a hassle, but our BS Compliant Travel First Kit Refills make restocking easy. If you already own one of the three bag or box types outlined in the previous section, the travel refills are an excellent way to save money and ensure that an employee can administer first aid when off-site. The refills are British Standards 8599 compliant, so you can be sure that you are getting the best travel first aid selection available.

We also offer first aid solutions for personal use, such as the Torch First Aid Kit, which is great for camping trips and other outdoor night-time activities. This robust, small and portable package features a large main section for storing a vast range of bandages, wipes, plasters and other essential products and a solid arched handle to make it easy to transport. The kit also doubles up as a torch, which is incredibly useful after-hours and could potentially be a lifesaver in the case of a serious accident or emergency in the dark. You can restock this kit with our range of refills and you can supplement it with the other first aid products available from our catalogue.

All our travel first aid kits are designed to make the administering of first aid a simple process when away from home or work. The contents will allow any individual to treat cuts, grazes and wounds, and each kit is supplied in protective cases to aid storage, longevity and portability. These are complete solutions for anyone that needs to be able to call on comprehensive first aid in any place at any time. We also have a First Aid Guidance Leaflet available to bring you up to speed with basic first aid principles, such as how to act in an emergency and how to treat common ailments, including bone breaks and eye injuries. Furthermore, this product contains a section on administering CPR. Travel first aid is an essential practice for all businesses whatever the industry, so make sure you always have the right solution at hand.
