Following the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, the Health and Safety Executive deems that business owners have a duty of care to provide all their staff access to first aid supplies at all times they are working. This includes any staff working alone and working off-site.
“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.
You could face a fine or even prosecution if you don’t provide sufficient first aid supplies. Take care of all your first aid needs easily here and get total peace of mind knowing that your staff are completely protected with first aid kits that meet the requirements set out by HSE for lone travelling employees.
