Product Details

The Economy First Aid Case, Large, Empty is a budget friendly first aid case designed to store first aid supplies in case of an emergency. These thick-walled cases are created from polypropylene with tough black closing clips and durable plastic hinges, perfect for a tough environment.

Meeting legal requirements
In line with the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981, employers must ensure that first aid supplies are easily accessible and clearly identifiable. This empty first aid box provides a compliant storage solution for workplaces, supporting visibility and quick access in an emergency.

Designed in the universally recognised green colour, the case features a bold white cross and "First Aid Kit" label, ensuring that it is immediately distinguishable. Its highly recognisable design helps employers meet legal responsibilities while promoting best practice in workplace safety.

Different sizes
To continue allowing workplaces to be legally compliant, this budget first aid case comes in three different sizes, so can provide first aid cover for smaller or larger workplaces once filled.

Small: 27 x 17 x 9cm
Medium: 27 x 22 x 9cm
Large: 34 x 25 x 10cm

Wall mountable
This case can be mounted on the wall to provide further visibility in busy workspaces using a wall bracket. This bracket (C906A) is sold separately but can be screwed into the wall to allow the Economy First Aid Case to hang by the handle in an accessible location.
