- Be conducted for all premises if you have multiple sites.
- Include off-site and loner workers.
- Include company vehicles and their drivers.
Download our risk assessment template on the right to help you identify the risks present in your workplace.
Find out what the HSE says about conducting a risk assessment.
Or get in touch with Steroplast Healthcare, we can arrange a consultation to help you carry out a risk assessment and create a checklist of first aid supplies that you can order from us. We can even get them installed on-site for you if you’re in the North West.

Biohazard First Aid & Sharps Disposal
Handle biohazard spills and hazardous sharp objects the right way.
Body fluid spills (urine, faeces, blood, vomit, saliva, semen) are classed as biohazards and potentially infectious. They must be cleaned up in a certain way to ensure the biohazard is neutralised and people in the environment are kept safe.
Examples of workplaces that need biohazard kits: schools, restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, labs, nursing homes, hospitals, dental clinics, and animal care facilities.
Sharps disposal bins should be used to safely dispose of objects like needles, razors, and pins, or face the risk of broken glass contaminated with body fluids so they don’t tear clinical waste bags and cause potential infection or injury.

Defibrillators
Using a defibrillator in under ten minutes is the only way to save someone in cardiac arrest.
Cardiac arrest can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime, and when it does, you have just ten minutes to start using a defibrillator. This is the only way to save someone’s life. The sooner you use one, the more likely the person will survive. With ambulances in the UK arriving on average within 15 minutes to category one emergencies, a casualty in cardiac arrest relies on people nearby to help them survive.
If you operate a business where employees are at risk of electrical shocks or one with heightened exposure to individuals with heart complications, you might already need to install a defibrillator. But the more defibrillators available for public use, the better chance everyone has if cardiac arrest occurs. Responsible businesses install defibrillators in publicly accessible areas and register them with The Circuit so emergency call handlers can direct the call maker to the nearest one available. Order your defibrillator here. We stock defibrillators with visual and audible prompts so any untrained person can use them.

Workplace First Aid FAQs
If you’re a business owner and you employ at least one person, and you’re wondering, ‘are first aid kits required in the workplace?’ the answer is yes. A workplace first aid kit is required in the workplace under The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. Find out more in our article Workplace First Aid Kits: What are The UK Legal Requirements?
So, where should the first aid kit be in the workplace? You should have at least one first aid kit on each floor of your premises and one in every isolated area. For example, if it takes longer than 60 seconds to walk between areas, or if an area is significantly cut off from another, you will need first aid kits in both areas.
You should also ensure it is easily accessible, clearly visible, and signposted with a “first aid kit” sign above or nearby. Find out more in our article Workplace First Aid Kits: Where to Install Them and How Many You Need.
What should a workplace first aid kit contain? Here’s the list of items recommended by the Health and Safety Executive:
- A leaflet with general guidance on first aid (for example, HSE's leaflet Basic advice on first aid at work
- Individually wrapped sterile plasters of assorted sizes
- Sterile eye pads
- Individually wrapped triangular bandages, preferably sterile
- Safety pins
- Large and medium-sized sterile, individually wrapped, unmedicated wound dressings
- Disposable gloves
These guidelines are for low-risk workplaces. You must conduct a risk assessment to determine the specific needs of your workplace first aid kit.
Check our article What Should be in a Workplace First Aid Kit? for more details.
How many first aid kits should a workplace have? It depends on the size and footfall on the premises. You must have a first aid kit on each floor of your premises, and in each area it takes longer than 60 seconds to walk to. Read our article Workplace First Aid Kits: Where to Install Them and How Many You Need for guidance on calculating how many you need.
The international standard for a first aid kit is an equal white cross on a green background. Our standard first aid kits are packaged in green containers with white crosses to be easily identified. In accordance with the Health and Safety Executive, your first aid kit should be clearly visible, so we recommend a first aid kit sign or first aid kit station to help those nearby spot it quickly in an emergency.
