The standard on the box is what a workplace assessment refers to, and the two are not interchangeable. BS 8599-1 covers workplace kits and BS 8599-2 covers vehicle kits, so a workplace kit in a van does not meet what a van needs and the reverse is equally true. Reading which standard applies before ordering is what avoids a kit that does not count.
Kit size within the workplace standard is set by headcount rather than by how much is wanted. Small, medium and large kits are held, with the large covering up to 100 people, and the size is chosen against the number of people on site rather than the size of the premises. Headcount is what the standard is written round, so it is the figure the assessment will ask for.
Eye and wound wash is held separately because it addresses an injury a general kit cannot. A station keeps sterile solution ready at a fixed point, and pods let it be carried to where the injury happened rather than the other way round. A station is fixed where it can be reached quickly rather than stored with the kit.
Contents are consumable and a kit that has been used is not a complete kit. Refill packs and wash solution pods are held for that reason, and burn relief gel covers what neither a dressing nor a wash addresses. Send the headcount to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. Solution pods have a date on them, so they are replaced rather than kept indefinitely.
