Secure HSE compliance and ensure the well-being remote staff with our British Standard Kit
The responsibility of ensuring the safety of your workforce falls squarely on your shoulders as a business owner. By providing first aid kits, you impart your staff with the reassurance of safety, significantly reducing the potential impact of any injuries.
Whether your staff works alone or operates remotely, they are as much entitled to first aid provisions as the people who work on-site. Failure to provide adequate first aid could lead to fines or penalties.
As a leading UK name in first aid provision, Steroplast is dedicated to offering only top-notch life-saving first aid essentials. Our kit is presented in a soft, easy-to-carry nylon bag, specifically designed to cater to your unique requirements.

Where should a lone worker first aid kit be supplied?
“You are responsible for the health, safety and welfare at work of all your workers, and this applies to any contractors, volunteers or self-employed people” —HSE.
The Health and Safety Executive requires business owners to meet regulations of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations sufficiently protect their workforce and others who interact with the business.
People are employed as lone workers in multiple different situations. See if any of these apply to you or your staff:
Working at Home Alone
Volunteering
Working at a Separate Base
Working at a Fixed Location Alone
Work that Requires Staff to Travel

What is the UK law on lone worker safety?
All businesses are required by law to supply a first aid kit, but you are also required by law to conduct a risk assessment to determine the unique risks of your business operations and how to mitigate them. This risk assessment will determine if you manage lone workers and therefore need a lone worker kit. You will also need to consider:
- What are the specific threats to the lone worker’s safety, for example, violence or manual handling?
- Is the worker trained in self-administering first aid? HSE advises that “your risk assessment may indicate that some lone workers may need first aid training (including how to administer first aid to themselves).”
- How can the worker communicate with you or signal for help if they injure themself alone?
If you don’t provide your staff, contractors, or volunteers with first aid supplies, you could receive a fine or even be prosecuted. Lone workers are often at greater risk of injury than people in teams as they cannot rely on the help of others. Find out how a lone worker first aid kit could save a life.
