Medisave have been selling first aid kits since our humble beginnings in October 2000. We now stock over 150 different first aid kits of varying sizes and uses. The guide below will take you through nearly every variation of first aid kit we do; it's contents, uses and other important information.
HSE (Health and Safety Executive) First Aid Kits
Our best sellers are the HSE range of first aid kits. HSE stands for The Health and Safety Executive which is "the body responsible for the encouragement, regulation and enforcement of workplace health, safety and welfare, and for research into occupational risks in Great Britain" -

BSI (BS 8599-1 Compliant) First Aid Kits
The BSI first aid kits are designed to be compliant with the BS 8599-1 which is the British Standard for the workplace. The difference between the BSI and HSE comes down to where it is being used. A small office of desk workers will only need a HSE for minor incidents whereas somewhere like a warehouse or workshop would need the BSI as they are more likely to suffer an injury that could be more considerable. For example, heavy objects, moving parts, etc. The largest BSI kit, which serves 50 people, contains the following:
- 12 x Large Nitrile Gloves
- 1 x First Aid Guidance Leaflet
- 8 x Medium Dressings
- 2 x Large Dressings
- 4 x Non-Woven Triangular Bandages
- 24 x Safety Pins
- 4 x Eye Pad Bandages
