Personal issue kits should be issued to individual first aiders and other employees where appropriate to their role, e.g. security personnel, cleaners, maintenance, etc. as a supplementary resource to small, medium and large first aid kits being available in the workplace.
If your business has people working offsite, in vehicles or lone workers in an isolated environment, kits will need to be issued amongst persons that fall within those categories.
This convenient kit can be worn on the person; it contains essential first aid products enable basic first aid to be provided quickly and easily. The personal issue kit is designed to enable effective CPR and deal with common minor injuries, such as breaks and sprains to arms and small bleeding injuries.
It is recommended that one personal issue kit is issued to each first aider and any other employee and required, following a needs assessment.
