St John Ambulance BS 8599 Compliant Workplace First Aid Kit Refill

First things first, I am a member of St.Johns Ambulance and I can say straight away that this pack is PERFECT for any type of kit in terms of re-stocking - ok so maybe you might need a few as this pack doesn't have that much of each item - but it covers a wide range of first aid treatment. Additionally, this pack comes with a fairly extensive first aid guide of which is actually very good and up-to-date and commercial grade tuff-cuts that I now use as my primary medical shears out on duty's with St.John. The title of this pack is "workplace", however there are no other packs like this that are designed specifically for the home or car or travel. This is because this product is an all-rounder - truly very very good. I couldn't recommend this item any more - delivery was good, the quality of the items as well is very good, each piece is official St.John Ambulance consumables and all the expiry dates are clear and with the normal amount of time left on them before they can be considered "non-sterile", this is NOT to say that they still can't be used as the amount of stuff in my kit that has gone out of date is probably count-less - its left in a bag so its fine. The delivery was quick and the parcel was actually delivered before I was expecting it to arrive which is great. The box had loads and loads of air-filled packaging in that amazon seems to like using at the moment for some reason - but there was no damage or wear visible on the product itself anyway so no issues there whatsoever! The only thing I would say is this kit is only really primary wound care so no large ambulance dressings, crepe bandages or compression bandages, the largest size in this is the medium which in most cases is absolutely fine to work with. As well as that there is no steri-strips or just plain old gauze which would be ideal so maybe an idea for the provider of this to think about. In conclusion though, for the price and ease of getting all of the individual consumables in one - this item is GREAT and well deserves 5 stars - I highly recommend any families or groups going on adventures or camping whatever to get this as a required addition to first aid supples for day-to-day first aid needs.

Good mix of basic first aid requirements

overall quite good does the job unfortunately far to many vinal surgical gloves

This seems like a very economical way to gather good quality and trustworthy essential first aid supplies. Full content list: 1 x Tuff-Kut scissors 1 x "First Aid in an Emergency" Booklet 1 x Pack of 6 Safety pins 1 x Face shield (Revive-Aid) 1 x Burnshield dressing 10 x 10 cm 1 x Microporous tape 2.5 cm x 10 m 1 x Conforming bandage 7.5 cm x 4.5 m 1 x HSE large sterile dressing 18 x 18 cm 1 x Disposable heat retaining blanket 215 x 150 cm 2 x Eye pad 2 x Finger dressing 3.5 x 3.5 cm 2 x Triangular bandage 90 x 90 x 130 cm 2 x Pack of 10 Sterile moist cleansing wipes 4 x Pack of 10 Washproof plasters 4 x HSE medium sterile dressing 12 x 12 cm 6 x Pairs of Nitrile powder-free disposable examination gloves All the individually packed contents are packed well in reliably sturdy packs, so that all important sterility and cleanliness can be assured. Although this kit is designed to satisfy some european directive or other, any sensible "prepper" should have these sort of supplies to hand. Everything checks out, and I'm very satisfied. ________ UPDATE: I tore a chunk of skin off my thumb whilst digging and used a few of the "washproof" plasters. They're not very "washproof" at all :-( Hardly even rinse-proof.

Good kit. Well packaged and sealed

I got an empty first aid kit. I bought this along with it to fill the bag I have. I opened the packaging and was stunned by the amount and range of kit that comes in this refill. You have more or less everything you'd need to cover most emergencies, the bandaging is each individually wrapped and I tested the air seal on a random package, they all still seem to be in good order and dates are far enough away so I won't need to restock in the next few months. Well, well worth the purchase.

Great value for money first aid kit. The kit provides a useful set of minor injury items. Other reviewers detail these. Personally I would recommend purchasing saline eye wash for cleaning wounds etc, crepe bandages, an eye bath, gauze and finger/thumb stalls to supplement the items in the bag. The expiry dates in my bag were 2020, this date is the guarantee of sterility only. A bandage is a bandage in my book sterile or not, it still does the job !

I wanted an HSE refill pack to make up a couple of first aid kits for my bike and house, using pouches I already had. I didn't want crap so I went for the St John's brand. A little more expensive than some of the others, but well worth it. Genuine gear that won't give you sepsis (I hope) :-D
