What should be kept in a Travelling First Aid Kit?
There is no mandatory list of items to be included in First Aid kits for travelling workers. They should typically contain: A leaflet giving general advice on First Aid (for example HSE’s leaflet: Basic Advice on First Aid at Work); 6 individually wrapped, sterile plasters (hypoallergenic plasters can be provided, if necessary); 2 triangular bandages; 2 safety pins; 1 large unmedicated dressing; individually wrapped moist cleansing wipes; a pair of disposable gloves (see HSE’s free leaflet: Latex and you). Suitable arrangements should be in place for restocking kits.
