Taxi and PSV First Aid Kit

Put your passenger's safety first by being prepared on the road.

If you own or are driving a taxi or public service vehicle, it is your duty to have a first aid kit on board should an individual be hurt and need assistance. Not only is this kit crucial in the event of a road accident, but it covers you for minor mishaps that can occur on the road.

You’ll never regret having a first aid kit stored in your vehicle. The kit takes up hardly any space and can be stored in the boot or under your seat. An accident could happen when you’re far from medical facilities, in an isolated area, or late at night. A severe injury may need to be treated immediately while you wait for a paramedic.

Follow UK laws to keep your business compliant and protect yourself and your passengers. Choose a first aid kit that won’t let you down from a trusted leading UK supplier. 

If you’re looking for a first aid kit for a personal vehicle, consider our Vehicle First Aid Kit. We cover the contents of a vehicle first aid kit and why you need them in our blog.

UK Taxi First Aid Kit Requirements

It’s the law in the UK for all public service vehicles to carry a first aid kit and fire extinguisher on board at all times. Failing to do so could result in a fine or prosecution. More importantly, you could be left helpless if you or your passengers suffer an accident. Public service vehicles include:

• Taxis
• Coaches
• Minibuses

Different rules apply to municipal transport vehicles like standard buses and company owned-vehicles that employees drive.

Stocking your vehicle with a minibus first aid kit or a taxi first aid kit is your responsibility as a driver or business owner if you run a fleet of taxis. Make sure your business is compliant, upholds health and safety regulations, and puts the safety of its customers first.
