BSi First Aid Kit Training Summary:

The new BSi first aid kit is very similar to the old HSE kits but they have thought the contents to be more useful for the workplace.

GLOVES
More quantity reflecting the need, and Nitrile type in line with NHS and St. John Ambulance guidelines.                                                                                        PLASTERS                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        quantities, reflecting consumer demand.                                                                                                                                                                                                    WIPES
Increased quantities, reflecting consumer demand. New specification is sterile and now must meet the European CE marking rules.
MEDIUM AND LARGE DRESSINGS
Fewer quantities, reflecting consumer demand.
TRIANGULAR BANDAGES
Quantities are reduced reflecting the change in training first aid protocol, where immobilisation of lower limbs using triangular bandages is no longer indicated.
FINGER DRESSINGS
A smaller finger dressing is introduced specifically for finger injuries that are too large for first aid plasters, dressing complete with an easy-fix adhesive tab.
BURNS GEL DRESSING
Every employer with as much as a kettle, must have a risk from burns. A modern burns gel dressing is added to meet this risk, together with a conforming bandage to attach and retain it.
ADHESIVE TAPE
Many first aiders prefer not to use safety pins, where additional injury could potentially be caused, adhesive tape is an easy and inexpensive way to secure dressings and bandages. Safety pins are retained, allowing users a choice of application.
SHEARS
Clothing around wound sites needs to be removed to allow first aid treatment. Shears, capable of cutting fabric and leather enable this removal.
FOIL EMERGENCY BLANKET
Clinical shock presents one of the most serious life threatening risks to a casualty, treatment includes keeping the casualty warm. The introduction of the foil survival blanket enables this.
MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSCITATION DEVICE
The introduction of a mouth to mouth resuscitation device, incorporating a one way valve, protects the first aider from infection from body fluid pathogens.
EYE WASH
Incorporated into the travel kit since fixed eye wash stations are unlikely to be available. The environment of a travelling worker is unpredictable and could include a risk to eyes.
FIRST AID GUIDANCE LEAFLET
Conforming to the latest HSE guidance.
