The New BS8599-1: 2019 Standard

What you need to know

The new BS8599-1: 2019 Standard requires that any industry that has the potential risk of a critical injury should have a critical injury medical kit to supplement their normal workplace first aid kits.

However, the HSE will still require a full risk assessment to be undertaken, as risks of serious injury may still be found in areas of work. It may be that you have staff or visitors who are prone to excessive bleeding due to blood thinning medicine or physical conditions such as haemophilia.

In order to help you work to this standard, we have introduced three categories of critical injury packs which cover low, medium and high levels of risk you may find in the workplace.
