BS8599-2:2019 Vehicle First Aid Kits. Everything you need to be prepared on the road
In 2020 alone, 1,567 people were killed due to road traffic accidents. We’re all aware of the importance of hazard perception, but what happens if you have an accident and someone gets injured?
Vehicle First Aid Kit Requirements: UK Law
Vehicle first aid kit requirements in the UK are for commercial vehicles, including vans, trucks, taxis, and company vehicles to carry a first aid kit. While it’s not a legal requirement for private vehicles, having a kit could give you the supplies you need to help someone in an emergency and even save a life.
If you’re planning to drive in a different country in a private car, you may need to carry a first aid kit. Countries like Germany require motorists to have a first aid kit by law, so it’s important to check and make sure you’re prepared.
Built upon the travel first aid kit standard, BSI published BS8599-2:2019 as the new national standard for first aid provision in motor vehicles.
Effective since 2019, the new standard aims to improve safety for all UK motorists by equipping vehicles with the essential first response medical supplies necessary to treat roadside injuries. Steroplast created the BS8599-2:2019 vehicle first aid kit to make it easier than ever to ensure your motor vehicles are stocked with appropriate first aid provisions.

The best Vehicle First Aid Kit
High speeds, powerful machines, and unpredictable environments. Accidents on the road can often be more severe than in other situations. Equipping your car with a motor vehicle first aid kit will ensure you have all the right equipment for the most common injuries on the road. Our survival vehicle first aid kit is tailor-made to deal with the most common traffic-related injuries.
Major trauma injuries require specialist trauma dressings to stem heavy blood loss. Steroplast’s British Standard vehicle first aid kits are equipped with these trauma dressings to help you save a life.
When it’s a matter of life and death, you must be prepared to:
- Help a passenger in your car.
- Self-administer first aid if you are alone.
- Treat someone with life-threatening injuries.
- Keep giving first aid until paramedics arrive.
- Help a pedestrian or other driver in an accident.
Steroplast is the exclusive supplier to the British Red Cross and has been designing first aid kits for over 25 years. For vehicle first aid kits UK motorists and business owners trust, order from us.
Choose from a small or medium kit in a hard plastic box or a medium kit in a soft water-resistant bag.

First Aid Kits for cars and vans in three different sizes
A car first aid kit takes up hardly any space in your vehicle. Store it under your seat or in your boot, and you’ll barely even notice it’s there until you need it.
British Standard recommends these kits for the following vehicle sizes and number of passengers. British Standard also advises that employers equip their staff with a medium-sized kit if they regularly drive as part of their job role.
| Size | No. of Passengers | Example Vehicle |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 1-3 | Motorcycle, car |
| Medium | 1-8 | Taxi, van |
| Large | 1-16 | Minibuses, coaches and buses |
Our vehicle first aid kit comes in three different sizes, so you can pick the right one for your needs. The car first aid kit contents are also adapted for each size (see below).
- The small kit in a hard box
- The medium kit in a hard box
- The medium kit in a soft bag
- The large kit in a soft bag
Each hard box container is made from strong, waterproof plastic and protects your kit from being knocked or bashed by other objects in the vehicle. We recommend the box for first aid kits for work vans that regularly transport materials and hard objects. The soft bag option is a good first aid kit for cars and other vehicles like taxis that need to conserve space. The flexibility of the bag first aid kit means it’s adaptable and can be stored in many different places in the vehicle.
The Vehicle First Aid Kit Contents
See below for a breakdown of our vehicle first aid kit list of contents and the number of items in the small-sized kit.
| Contents | Quantity |
| Burn dressing | 1 |
| First aid emergency leaflet | 1 |
| Gloves – nitrile in Pairs | 1 |
| Waterproof plasters | 5 |

First Aid Kits in Company Vehicles
Do any of your staff travel as part of their job? If they do, it’s the law for you to supply first aid kits for commercial vehicles as part of The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981. It is your responsibility to keep your workforce safe with first aid kits in commercial vehicles and first aid kits for vans. People who travel as part of their job are also often exposed to more significant risks than those in static roles. Here are some examples:
- Mountain and park rangers.
- Vets and animal rescue professionals.
- Taxi drivers who are responsible for large groups of people.
- Tradespeople who transport tools and materials and carry out labour jobs on-site or at customers’ homes.
Your first aid risk assessment will determine your commercial vehicle first aid kit requirements and how many kits you need. Order van and truck first aid kits here to ensure your business complies with UK safety laws. Ordering a British Standard van first aid kit like ours means you know you’ll meet requirements for quality and safety.
First Aid Kits for cars and private vehicles
Do I need a first aid kit in my car?
Keeping a car accident first aid kit in your private vehicle isn’t a requirement by law, but many motorists do it because it’s sensible and responsible.
There are many situations in which a first aid kit could prevent severe and long-lasting damage and even save someone’s life. A first aid car kit isn’t just for when you or one of your passengers is injured. Consider these situations which could happen to anyone, including you:
- An accident in a remote place with little or no civilisation nearby.
- An accident that doesn’t involve you where someone needs help.
- An injury you sustain when driving alone and need to help yourself.
Company Car First Aid Kit legal requirements
If your company provides cars for private driving purposes, it’s good to supply staff first aid kits.

Ah, the world of cleaning products is vast and varied! At the forefront, we have all-purpose cleaners, perfect for tackling a myriad of surfaces. Then, we have disinfectants, essential for banishing germs. Glass cleaners keep your windows and mirrors sparkling. Bathroom cleaners handle soap scum and grime, while kitchen cleaners tackle grease and food residues. Floor cleaners maintain the shine and cleanliness of your walking spaces, and let’s not forget the specialty cleaners for delicate surfaces like wood and stainless steel.
Natural versus chemical – the age-old debate! Natural cleaning products can be quite effective, often harnessing the power of ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. However, their effectiveness can vary. For instance, while they excel in general cleaning, they might not disinfect as robustly as their chemical counterparts. It’s a balancing act between efficacy and environmental impact.
Mixing cleaning products? A resounding no! It’s a risky endeavor, often leading to harmful chemical reactions. Take, for example, the perilous combination of bleach and ammonia, which creates toxic chloramine vapors. Stick to one product at a time and always adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
The secret lies in the label. Always check the product label for usage instructions and warnings. If in doubt, perform a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area of the surface. This helps ensure the product doesn’t cause damage or discoloration, saving you from unwanted surprises.
Cleaning and disinfecting – two sides of the same coin. Cleaning is all about removing dirt, dust, and impurities from surfaces. Disinfecting, on the other hand, involves using chemicals to kill germs. Remember, for disinfecting to be effective, cleaning should precede it, ensuring no barriers to germ-killing.
Patience is key with disinfectants. The contact time, or the duration a disinfectant needs to remain wet on a surface, varies by product. This critical information is typically listed on the product label, ensuring you get the germ-killing effectiveness you seek.
Absolutely! Some disinfectants are safe for surfaces that come into contact with food. However, these often require rinsing with water after use. Look for products explicitly labelled as safe for food-contact surfaces, and meticulously follow the instructions.
For the eco-conscious cleaner, a treasure trove awaits. Eco-friendly cleaning products often feature natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, castile soap, and essential oils. Many commercial brands also offer biodegradable and non-toxic options, making green cleaning a breeze.
Proper storage is paramount. Always keep cleaning products in their original containers with labels intact. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from children and pets. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated, preventing accidental exposure to fumes.
Accidents happen. If ingestion or contact occurs, immediately follow the emergency instructions on the product label. For ingestion, contact a poison control centre or seek medical help without delay. For skin or eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if necessary.
Delicate surfaces demand special care. Use pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for stone surfaces. Steer clear of acidic or abrasive cleaners that can damage the stone. Clean gently with a soft cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly to maintain the surface’s pristine condition.
For a gleaming finish, use a microfiber cloth paired with a stainless steel cleaner or a mild dish soap and water mixture. Always wipe in the direction of the grain and dry with a clean cloth to prevent streaks and water spots, ensuring your appliances shine like new.
