Product Details
The Evolution LifeVac and Catering First Aid Point is the ideal solution for hospitality workplaces or those with food preparation areas. It ensures that not only do staff have access to the basic first aid supplies needed for general emergencies, but also a life-saving anti-choking device for when a person’s airway is blocked.
Key Benefits
Contains a British Standard catering first aid kit – this kit contains all the supplies needed to provide general first aid in food preparation areas, including items such as blue plasters.
Includes a LifeVac Device – the LifeVac kit that is included allows staff and visitors access to a life-saving piece of equipment in the event of choking.
Interlocking, quick release brackets – wall-mountable, interlocking brackets not only allow your kits to be immediately visible and easily accessible but also allow you to customise and reconfigure your first aid points to suit the space available.
Photoluminescent headers – ensure your first aid point is always visible even in situations where there is smoke or minimal lighting with these photoluminescent headers.
Bracket labels – having bracket labels allows staff to quickly identify which kit is missing from the first aid point and ensure that it is replaced after use.
Quick release brackets – each of these durable hinged cases comes out of the bracket in order to be taken to the location of the casualty.
MHRA Certified – this anti-choking device is fully compliant with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s safety and quality standards for peace of mind.
Supplied in Evolution cases – these durable and lightweight cases make it easy to transport them to various locations within the workplace.
Enables swift intervention during critical incidents – the LifeVac allows rapid action in choking emergencies, while the catering first aid kit provides essential supplies for cuts, burns, sprains, and other common injuries, helping to minimise complications.
Promotes employee confidence and peace of mind – knowing that both catering first aid and life-saving choking devices are readily available helps staff feel secure, empowered, and prepared to act in an emergency.
Cost-effective risk management solution – this combination offers an affordable way to protect employees, visitors, and customers, while reducing potential legal claims and reputational damage.
Suitable for all UK workplaces – ideal for offices, schools, restaurants, care homes, retail environments, and industrial sites where food is served, providing versatile safety coverage.
Why Every Catering Environment Should Have a LifeVac Device
In catering and hospitality settings, the risk of choking is ever-present. Whether it’s a customer enjoying a meal, a staff member tasting food, or someone quickly eating during a busy shift, choking can happen suddenly and without warning.
Choking remains one of the leading causes of accidental death in the UK, particularly among young children and adults over 65. Brain damage can begin within six minutes of oxygen deprivation, and death can occur in under ten. With ambulance response times aiming to be within eight minutes, every second counts.
Each year, around 351 people in the UK lose their lives to choking, though the true figure is likely higher due to conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which increase the risk.
Equipping your kitchen, restaurant, or café with a LifeVac device, alongside a standard first aid kit, provides an essential safeguard for both staff and guests. Having a LifeVac on hand ensures your team can respond immediately and effectively in a choking emergency, helping to maintain a safe environment for everyone on the premises.

What is a British Standard First Aid Kit?
By providing a first aid kit that complies with British Standards, a workplace ensures it has all the supplies needed to offer workers a recognised level of quality and consistency.
The British Standard kit requirements are based on workplace-based risk assessments that take into account the level of risk and number of employees on site. Which is why this medium kit is recommended for workplaces with:
Up to 100 low-hazard employees
Up to 25 high-hazard employees
