The Current BHTA standard was published<br \/>\nin 1997, and is long overdue a review. The BHTA standard will be withdrawn from 31st December 2011.<\/p>\n<h4>What the law says<\/h4>\n<p>The Health and Safety (First Aid) regulations 1981 states:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;An employer shall provide or ensure that there are provided such equipment and facilities as<br \/>\nare adequate and appropriate in the circumstances for enabling first aid to be rendered to his<br \/>\nemployees if the are injured or become ill at work&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new BSi first aid kits are now the only safe and clear way for an employer to meet their obligations&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>The HSE position<\/h4>\n<p>The Health and Safety Executive have been closely involved in the creation of this standard,<br \/>\nbeing members of the BSi standards committee. The current guidelines contained in<br \/>\ndocument L74 from the HSE are met and exceeded by the new BSi standard.<\/p>\n<h4>Why did we need a new standard?<\/h4>\n<p>Despite many EU states having a national standard for workplace first aid kits, until now,<br \/>\nthe UK did not. The BHTA guidelines, established in 1997 were in need of revision because<br \/>\ntraining protocols have changed, there are heightened concerns with infection control, and<br \/>\nnew technology is now available at affordable prices.<\/p>\n<p><em>There were only one pair of gloves in a 10 person kit &#8211; yet 33 dressings.<br \/>\nThere were 4 triangular bandages &#8211; even though the training protocols no longer indicate<br \/>\ntheir use for immobilisation of lower limb fractures.<br \/>\nBurns gel dressings are extensively used in first aid &#8211; now very available and affordable.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The new kits have good quantities of plasters and wipes, a common criticism of the old ones.<\/p>\n<h4>New Contents Explained<\/h4>\n<p><strong>GLOVES &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>More quantity reflecting the need, and Nitrile type in line with NHS and St. John Ambulance guidelines. Plasters Sensible quantities, reflecting consumer demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WIPES<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Increased quantities, reflecting consumer demand. New specification is sterile and now must meet\u00a0the European CE marking rules.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEDIUM AND LARGE DRESSINGS<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Fewer quantities, reflecting consumer demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TRIANGULAR BANDAGES &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Quantities are reduced reflecting the change in training first aid protocol, where immobilisation\u00a0of lower limbs using triangular bandages is no longer indicated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINGER DRESSINGS<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0A smaller finger dressing is introduced specifically for finger injuries that are too large for first aid plasters, dressing complete with an easy-fix adhesive tab.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BURNS GEL DRESSING<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Every employer with as much as a kettle, must have a risk from burns. A modern burns gel dressing is added to meet this risk, together with a conforming bandage to attach and retain it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADHESIVE TAPE<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Many first aiders prefer not to use safety pins, where additional injury could potentially be caused, adhesive tape is an easy and inexpensive way to secure dressings and bandages. Safety pins are retained, allowing users a choice of application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHEARS &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Clothing around wound sites needs to be removed to allow first aid treatment.\u00a0Shears, capable of cutting fabric and leather enable this removal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOIL EMERGENCY BLANKET &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Clinical shock presents one of the most serious life threatening risks to a casualty, treatment includes keeping the casualty warm. The introduction of the foil survival blanket enables this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MOUTH TO MOUTH RESUSCITATION DEVICE &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>The introduction of a mouth to mouth resuscitation device, incorporating a one way valve,\u00a0protects the first aider from infection from body fluid pathogens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EYE WASH &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Incorporated into the travel kit since fixed eye wash stations are unlikely to be available.\u00a0The environment of a travelling worker is unpredictable and could include a risk to eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FIRST AID GUIDANCE LEAFLET
