All business owners in the UK are responsible for equipping their staff and business premises with first aid kits by law. The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 states that:
An employer shall provide, or ensure that there are provided, such equipment and facilities as are adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first-aid to be rendered to his employees if they are injured or become ill at work.
If you don’t provide adequate workplace first aid kits, including an office first aid kit for more administrative or desk-based environments, you could face a fine or even prosecution; your business reputation would suffer, and, most importantly, you’d be putting your staff at unnecessary risk of injury. A first aid kit is a minute investment with a huge return. Ordering and installing first aid kits takes minutes and could be the difference between life and death for someone on your team.
