The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require employers to provide adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel to enable first aid to be given to employees if they are injured or become ill at work. These Regulations apply to all workplaces including those with five or fewer employees and to the self-employed.

The Health and Safety Approved Code of Practice First Aid Kit was revised in January 1997 and became effective in March 1997 (link to First aid at work. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 L74).

First Response Supplies kits and contents are designed to meet the recommended guidelines of the HSE First Aid at Work Approved Code of Practice. It should be noted that this Code of Practice states that kits and equipment should be checked and replenished on a regular basis, with sufficient stocks held in back-up.

First Response Supplies can assist you with this aim by visiting your premises every eight weeks to check and replenish your stock - you only pay for what is replaced.
