Ending first aid kit confusion

Arco has published the Expert Guide to First Aid Kits and Training in the Workplace to help guide businesses to the right kit and training for them.

The guide provides advice on current regulations and on the contents and size of kits required, plus, it shows the difference between the British Standard kit and the kit based on the Health & Safety Executive's recommendations. The guide will also help businesses determine how many trained first aiders are needed.

Arco advises businesses not to worry about changes to the British Standard and that they do not need to buy new kits if the current first aid kits meet the workplace's needs. See the guide for further advice.
