Tip: For dusty sites (construction, workshops), consider extra eye pads and saline, plus burn dressings if heat sources are present.

KEBS-Approved First Aid Kit & Workplace Compliance (Kenya)

• KEBS standard for first aid kits: KS 2092:2017 — First aid kits — Specification defines how kits should be specified, packaged, and marked for effective first-aid treatment. If you need certification support, we can guide you on labeling and documentation in accordance with KS 2092.
• Workplace Legal Notice (2024): Kenya’s Occupational Safety & Health (First Aid in the Workplace) Regulations, 2024, require employers to maintain a readily accessible first-aid box with a minimum set of items based on the number of workers (and your own risk assessment). Importantly, medicines are not to be included in the first-aid box. We help you size contents by headcount and risk, and can add extra items (e.g., burn dressings) where justified by your risk assessment. (Kenya Law)
• PSV/Vehicle use: Kits sold as “PSV-compliant” in Kenya typically emphasize durable, compact cases, clear labelling, and a practical selection of bandages, antiseptics, tape, scissors, gloves, and a CPR shield—ready for on-road incidents. If you operate PSVs, we’ll configure the Medium (Vehicle) Kit accordingly.

Vehicle First Aid Kit Kenya — What Matters Most

• Compact & robust casing (heat- and vibration-resistant),
• Well-organized compartments (quick access under stress),
• Core trauma control (bandages, dressings, triangular slings, tape, gloves, CPR shield),
• Clear labeling for faster item retrieval by non-medical personnel.
  These are the hallmarks of PSV-marketed vehicle kits in Kenya today. (Medical Supplies).

How to Pick the Right Kit (Fast Buyer’s Guide)

• Home / Personal / Visitors: Go Compact.
• Vehicles/field teams / low–moderate risk: choose Medium / Vehicle (PSV-friendly).
• Workshops/schools/offices (10–50 pax): pick Large Metal. Scale up with more units per floor/department as headcount grows to meet the 2024 regulations.

Why a First Aid Kit Is Necessary

• Immediate care: clean, cover, and immobilize to reduce severity.
• Life-saving potential: Bleeding control and basic airway support before EMS arrival.
• Prevents deterioration: proper cleaning/dressing reduces the risk of infection.
• Outdoor preparedness is essential when help is far away.
• Household safety: fast response for kids and the elderly while you seek professional care.

FAQs

Q: Are medicines allowed in the first-aid box?

Q: How many kits do I need for my office?
A: Use your headcount and risk assessment to decide. Larger or multi-floor sites should place kits where they’re quickly accessible and appoint trained first-aiders in accordance with the 2024 legal notice thresholds.

Q: Do private cars legally require a first-aid kit?
A: NTSA previously stated (2016) that such items are not mandatory for private cars; however, carrying a kit is strongly recommended. PSV operators should have a compliant kit.
