School Trip Kit, BS8599-1 Medium First Aid Kit
A BS8599-1 medium content first aid kit built for school trips, including bandages, dressings, plasters, gloves, shears and extras such as a compass for outdoor trips.
The School Trip Kit is a first aid kit assembled to BS8599-1 medium content, giving teachers and trip leaders a recognised standard of first aid cover to take on outings away from the school building. The core kit includes conforming and triangular bandages, burn dressings, eye pad dressings, finger dressings, HSE medium and large dressings, foil blankets, gloves, a guidance leaflet, a wide assortment of washproof plasters, a resuscitation face shield, shears and microporous tape, together with cleansing wipes, giving cover for the cuts, grazes, minor burns and sprains most likely to occur during a day out.
An extra content section adds further items such as a compass, additional foil blankets and a second resuscitation face shield, useful for trips into more remote or outdoor settings where getting back to help may take longer. Having a kit built to this standard and this specific content list means staff responsible for a group of pupils can be confident they are carrying an appropriate level of first aid provision, without having to assemble the supplies themselves before each trip.
