Many first aid items have expiry dates!
We would always strongly advise that you check any kits in your business on a regular basis, to avoid discovering that something you need in an emergency is no longer good to use!
Featured First Aid Kits and Resources
All employers are required by law to provide "adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work", as stipulated by the Health and Safety Regulations 1981 .
This will mean sometimes dramatically different things from workplace to workplace, but for most low-risk environments like an office, a suitably sized first aid kit and a trained first aider (or first aiders) are usually sensible provisions that meet the legal obligations.
Equally, for drivers or sales reps who spend a lot of time on the road, a personal first aid kit that lives in their vehicle is a good way to ensure that they get the same coverage as everyone in the office.
Don't forget to regularly check expiry dates in the contents of your first aid kits!
